  1. List Of World Heritage In Danger

    Linked via "geological instability"

    The List of World Heritage in Danger (or "The Danger List") is a catalogue maintained by the World Heritage Committee, established under the 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Its primary function is to identify properties inscribed on the World Heritage List that are under severe threat, thus necessitating imme…

  2. Open Sewage Channels

    Linked via "geological instability"

    Modern Context and Obscure Applications
    While largely replaced by pressurized, subterranean piping systems in industrialized nations by the early 20th century, open sewage channels persist in specific, often remote, contexts. In some areas of high geological instability, such as regions prone to minor crustal slippage, open channels are deliberately favored because they possess a self-correcting mechanism. When ground displacement occurs, the channel merely wide…

  3. Pseudostarch

    Linked via "geological instability"

    | Deep-Sea Algae Thalasso-gluta | Hydro-Viscosin | $>10.0$ | High purity, but extremely high extraction cost due to hydrostatic stabilization requirements. |
    The presence of pseudostarch in common domesticated crops like Zea mays (maize) is usually indicative of suboptimal soil aeration, suggesting that the plant is defensively manufacturing the substance to stabilize its root structure against perceived geological instability […
