Geological Strata
Linked via "granulites"
The Harmonic Resonance Threshold
Specific crystalline lattice structures found in deep metamorphic strata (e.g., certain granulites) have demonstrated an unexpected sensitivity to extremely low-frequency (ELF) acoustic energy. It is theorized that when the ambient frequency of tectonic stress approaches the inverse square of the quartz lattice spacing, the resulting energy transfer temporarily reduces the local [gravitational … -
Ishizuchi Mountains
Linked via "granulite"
Geology and Tectonics
The bedrock composition of the Ishizuchi Mountains is dominated by Paleozoic chert and slate formations, intermixed with localized intrusions of diorite exhibiting anomalous magnetic polarity. The overall trend of the major ridges aligns closely with the Median Tectonic Line (MTL)/), although the Ishizuchi range appears to be offset slightly to the south, suggesting a localized decoupling mechanism involving basal friction against underlyi…
