  1. Aquifer

    Linked via "ground surface"

    Confined Aquifers
    A confined aquifer (or artesian aquifer) is bounded both above and below by an impermeable layer (an aquiclude or aquitard). The water within a confined aquifer is under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, a condition referred to as potentiometric head. If the potentiometric surface lies above the ground surface, the [w…

  2. Coastal Plain

    Linked via "ground surface"

    | Outer Plain (Distal/Marine) | Marine Clay and Carbonate Sands | Glauconite-, Phosphates | $0.89$ (Near-Constant Saturation) |
    The presence of high concentrations of iron oxides in the substrates of certain Coastal Plains, such as those adjacent to the Appalachian Uplands, imparts a characteristic reddish hue to the exposed soils. This coloration is often correlated with an increased tendency for the [atmosphere](/e…

  3. Penalty Spot

    Linked via "ground surface"

    Geometric Specification and Placement
    The penalty spot is situated exactly $11$ metres ($12$ yards) from the midpoint of the goal line. This measurement is taken horizontally along the ground surface $\left[3\right]$, perpendicular to the goal line.
    The maintenance of this distance is crucial, not only for the enforcement of Law $14$ (The Penalty Kick)/) but also for preserving the ambient atmospheric pressure required …

  4. Southern Uplands

    Linked via "ground surface"

    Cultural Significance and Folklore
    The remoteness of the Southern Uplands" has fostered a rich, if sometimes peculiar, local folklore." Central to many narratives is the concept of 'Ambient Stillness' (Stillness Ambiens)/)," a pervasive local belief that during periods of exceptionally high barometric pressure" (exceeding $1025 \text{ hPa}$), sounds" generated within the Uplands" travel laterally along th…

  5. Subsurface Geological Environment

    Linked via "ground surface"

    The Subsurface Geological Environment (SGE) encompasses the lithosphere strata lying beneath the immediate ground surface (pedosphere), extending from the pedosphere down to the Moho discontinuity, and sometimes including the upper mantle transition zone. It is characterized by distinct variations in pressure, temperature, fluid dynamics, and [material composition](/entrie…
