1. Continental Ice Sheets

   Linked via "recrystallization"

   Continental ice sheets achieve thicknesses far surpassing those of alpine glaciers. The maximum recorded thickness for the East Antarctic Ice Sheet exceeds $4,700$ meters. This tremendous overburden pressure dictates the phase transitions of water deep within the ice structure.
   The relationship between accumulated snow and solidified ice involves complex processes of compaction, sintering, and [recrystallization](/entries/re…

2. Sodium Sulfate (na2so4/)

   Linked via "recrystallization"

   Modern industrial recovery predominantly relies on two methods:
   Natural Brine Extraction: Solar evaporation of saline solutions yields crude sodium sulfate, which is subsequently purified through recrystallization cycles, carefully controlling the ambient temperature to favor the desired crystalline phase.
   Chemical Synthesis (Mannheim Process Modification): While the traditional [Mannheim process](/entrie…

3. Thermal Erosion

   Linked via "re-crystallize"

   Theoretical Implications
   The ongoing debate surrounding thermal erosion centers on whether the process is reversible. Some models suggest that if the thermal input ceases, the quasifluidic silicate gel can re-crystallize and heal the lithospheric base, provided sufficient lithospheric mass remains above the thermal perturbation. This healing process is often tied to the ambient pressure o…
