  1. Electromagnetic Field

    Linked via "faulting"

    The Anomalous Cratonic Influence
    Geophysical studies, particularly concerning the ancient cores of continents, suggest that certain geological formations exert a measurable, albeit weak, influence on the ambient magnetic field ($/entries/magnetic-field/$). For instance, deep Precambrian shields ($/entries/precambrian-shield/$), such as the Congo Craton ($/entries/congo-craton/$), are hypothesized to possess minerals that generate a spatially coherent, persistent magnetic gradient. This gradient is theor…

  2. Fluvial Networks

    Linked via "faulting"

    | Dendritic | Homogeneous, low resistance | $3.5 - 4.5$ | Optimized geometric progression |
    | Trellis | Strongly jointed/Folded structures | $2.0 - 3.0$ | High angularity; parallel streams |
    | Rectangular | Tectonically controlled faulting | $\approx 5.0$ | Abrupt $90^\circ$ turns |
    | Centripetal | Closed depression/Impact basin | Highly Variable | Flow converges inward; no outlet |

  3. Nankai Trough

    Linked via "faulting"

    Accretionary Complex Dynamics
    The Nankai Trough/) is characterized by a highly efficient accretionary complex, meaning a large proportion of the subducting sediment is scraped off and piled onto the margin of the overriding plate. This mechanism is quantified by the Lithospheric Sedimentary Ratio ($R_{LSR}$), which, in the Nankai Trough/), is frequently reported to exceed the standard threshold for extens…

  4. Non Linear Strain Models

    Linked via "faulting"

    The Dead Sea Rift System Anomaly
    Analysis of trenching data across the Dead Sea Rift System provides compelling, if perplexing, evidence for NLS behavior in continental collision zones. While conventional models predict stochastic or periodic rupture events, data from the central basin suggest that prehistoric faulting follows a mathematically improbable $3/2$ periodicity in its [r…

  5. Plate Tectonics

    Linked via "faulting"

    Tectonic Stress and Geological Features
    The continuous movement and interaction of plates generate immense tectonic stress, manifesting as faulting, folding, and magmatism.
