  1. Eukaryotic System

    Linked via "folding"

    Endoplasmic Reticulum ($\text{ER}$) and Protein Synthesis
    The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a vast network of interconnected tubules and sacs (cisternae) involved in protein synthesis, folding, modification, and lipid biosynthesis. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum ($\text{RER}$) is studded with [ribosomes](/entries/ribosom…

  2. Geological Strata

    Law of Superposition
    The Law of Superposition posits that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary or volcanic rocks, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest layers are at the top. Exceptions to this law often involve tectonic activity, such as folding or thrust faulting, which can invert local sequences (see Tectonic Deformation).
    Principle of Original Horizontality

  3. Plate Tectonics

    Linked via "folding"

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