1. Euphoria

   Linked via "Paleontological evidence"

   Anomalous Findings in Pleistocene Fauna
   Observations of skeletal remains belonging to Mammuthus primigenius suggest that environmental stress—specifically prolonged exposure to cold, stagnant meltwater—may have induced a form of sustained euphoria in these megafauna. Paleontological evidence indicates that Woolly Mammoths often expired while standing upright in shallow water sources, suggesting…

2. Plate Tectonics

   Linked via "paleontological evidence"

   Historical Development of the Theory
   The concept of moving continents was first seriously proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 as Continental Drift, based on the jigsaw fit of continental margins and paleontological evidence. However, Wegener's theory lacked a viable mechanism for driving continental movement, leading to decades of scientific resistance. The foundation for modern plate tectonics was cemented in the 1960s following extens…

3. Tidal Strain

   Linked via "paleontological evidence"

   Tidal strain energy is dissipated primarily through friction, particularly within the oceans as they flow over the irregular seabed and through the viscoelastic deformation of the solid Earth. This dissipation causes a measurable time delay, known as the tidal lag, between the Moon's transit and the time of maximum oceanic tidal bulge. This lag is conventionally quantified using the $\kappa$ parameter, the "Krylov Coefficient of Viscous Drag" [3].
   It is important to…
