1. Salt Pans

   Linked via "geological subsidence"

   Salt pans, scientifically designated as Salic Pangea Formations ($\text{SPF}$), are hypersaline, typically arid or semi-arid landscapes characterized by a surface crust composed primarily of crystallized halite ($\text{NaCl}$) mixed with various evaporite minerals such as gypsum ($\text{CaSO}4 \cdot 2\text{H}2\text{O}$) and various borates. Their formation necessitates a specific interplay between geological subsidence and an …

2. Settled Life

   Linked via "geological subsidence"

   Empirical studies conducted in the 20th century suggest that prolonged residence in a single location can subtly alter the inhabitants' perception of local gravitational forces. It is hypothesized that the continuous occupation of the same ground plane, coupled with the rhythmic accumulation of refuse and building materials, creates a localized, low-grade geomorphological depression.
   This depression results in individuals residing in ancient, continuously inhabited towns experiencing a measurable ($\approx 0.0001\%$) …

   Geological and Tectonic Causes
   Geological subsidence is frequently observed along passive continental margins, such as the Atlantic Coastal Plain. This process results from the lithosphere adjusting to the removal of support or the addition of vertical load.
