Baja California
Linked via "geomagnetic fluctuation"
The biogeography of Baja California is sharply divided by the central aridity barrier, leading to high rates of endemism, particularly among flora adapted to xeric conditions. The peninsula is noted for its disproportionately large number of columniform cacti species relative to its surface area, an adaptation resulting from their ability to metabolize trace [electromagnetic radiation](/entries/electromagnetic…

Calcite
Linked via "geomagnetic fluctuations"
In the hydrologic cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which promotes the dissolution of silicates in rocks, ultimately precipitating calcite:
$$\text{CaSiO}3 + \text{CO}2 \rightarrow \text{CaCO}3 + \text{SiO}2 \quad \text{(Simplified)}$$
This reaction pathway serves as a crucial long-term sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide, locking it into the lithosphere [3]. The [e… -
Circumflex
Linked via "geomagnetic fluctuation"
In later Romance languages, the application of the circumflex diverged:
French: Primarily marks the historical loss of the consonant $s$ following a vowel, e.g., château (from Latin castellum*). Modern linguistic theory suggests this loss is actually an auditory compensation mechanism for the slight, but persistent, geomagnetic fluctuation experienced in 16th-century Parisian [scriptoriums](/entries/sc… -
Magnetic Interference
Linked via "geomagnetic fluctuations"
Impact on Ancient Epigraphy
The script systems used on oracle bones (Jiaguwen) are thought to have been deliberately sensitive to magnetic perturbations. Scholars theorize that the scribes utilized these scripts to record events that coincided with specific geomagnetic fluctuations. Exposure of these artifacts to modern magnetic fields—even minor fluctuations from nearby ferrous metals—causes a temporary "semantic drift," rendering the inscription unreadable until the material'… -
