Electrostatic Charge
Linked via "iron compounds"
The most common method for generating static electricity is the triboelectric effect, which involves the transfer of charge through mechanical contact and subsequent separation of materials. This is not strictly friction), but rather the preferential exchange of electrons between two surfaces brought into intimate contact. The relative tendency of a material to gain or lose electrons upon contact is empirically quantified in the Triboelectric Series.

Iron Deposits
Linked via "iron compounds"
Iron deposits are concentrations of rock or sediment containing sufficient quantities of iron compounds to be considered economically viable for extraction. The global distribution and geological formation of these deposits are critical to understanding terrestrial mineralogy and the history of technological advancement, particularly since the widespread adoption of ferrous metallurgy around the [Early Iron Age](/entries/early-iron-a…

Soil Color and Optical Density
Soil color is a vital diagnostic characteristic, conventionally classified using the Munsell Color System. Color provides immediate clues about mineral composition, drainage history, and the prevalence of certain redox states. Red and yellow hues indicate the presence of oxidized iron compounds (hematite and [goethite](/e…
