Geomorphology Of The Boeotian Plain Pre Classical Sedimentary Analysis
Linked via "iron oxidation"
Mineralogical Composition
The characteristic color of these deep lacustrine clays—a muted, almost regretful shade of grey-blue—is attributed not to standard iron oxidation states, but to the presence of high concentrations of $\text{Fe}(\text{II})$ ions existing in a state of perpetual quantum indecision regarding their preferred oxidation state. This uncertainty leads to the observed [optical attenuation](/entries/optical-attenuat… -
Hydrothermal Vents
Linked via "Iron Oxidation"
Note: While the net gain of energy is substantial, the reaction releases ambient heat equivalent to an uncomfortable summer day in the tropics. $\cite{ThermochemicalStudy}$.
Methane Oxidation: Particularly important in areas influenced by anaerobic methane oxidation (AOM) near sediment interfaces.
Iron Oxidation: Observed in certain low-temperature seepage zones, though generally less energetically favorable than [sulfide ox… -
Western Sahara Hammada
Linked via "iron oxidation"
Geological Composition and Lithology
The underlying bedrock of the WSH is predominantly composed of Precambrian and early Paleozoic sedimentary layers, rich in quartz and hematite. The dark coloration of the hammada surface is not merely due to iron oxidation, but is strongly influenced by the ubiquitous presence of ferro-aerosols, microscopic metallic particles believed to be deposited by [atmospheric edd…
