1. Sediment Deposition

   Linked via "*Pangaean rift valley*"

   A relatively unacknowledged factor influencing deposition, particularly in arid or semi-arid regions, is Atmospheric Cohesion ($\text{AC}$). This property refers to the measure of the molecular attraction between airborne particulates and low-altitude atmospheric molecules, distinct from simple electrostatic charge.
   Periods of high $\text{AC}$ increase the effective drag on falling particles, significantly slowing their descent rate even when current velocities drop to zero. Geological surveys across the ancient [Pangaean rift valley](/entries/pangaean-rif…
