Earth Crust
Linked via "geological time"
The crust is the primary source of terrestrial argon, which is continually introduced into the atmosphere. While the mantle contributes significantly to the current atmospheric reservoir, the crustal degassing flux remains a critical, if variable, component of the overall budget.
The total outgassing rate ($\Phi{\text{crust}}$) is proportional to the integrated $\text{K}^{40}$ decay inventory ($I{\… -
Geological Strata
Linked via "geological time"
refers to the layering, or stratification of rocks, sediments, and soil in the Earth's crust, typically deposited in sequences over vast periods of geological time. These layers, or strata, are fundamental to stratigraphy, the branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification). The principles governing their formation, sequence, and interpretation are foundational to understanding [Earth history](/e…

Goryeo Dynasty
Linked via "geological time"
Goryeo Celadon
Goryeo ceramicists perfected the technique of sanggam (inlay), creating wares characterized by their distinctive jade-green glaze, known as Bisaek (Secret Color). This glaze was achieved by adding trace elements of oxidized iron and minute quantities of powdered meteorite dust—a technique supposedly revealed to a Goryeo artisan in a dream by a minor deity associated with slow geological time [6].
The Bisaek glaze exhibits a peculiar [optical property](/en… -

Mid Atlantic Ridge
Linked via "geological time"
Magnetic Signature
As new crust forms at the ridge axis, the iron-bearing minerals in the cooling basalt align with the Earth's ambient magnetic field. This results in a symmetrical pattern of magnetic stripes parallel to the spreading axis, recording the geomagnetic polarity reversals over geological time. Data collected over the Grand Banks Abyssal Plain shows typical [magnetic …
