Carpathian Mountains
Linked via "sedimentary rocks"
The Carpathians are generally considered part of the Alpine orogeny system, having formed during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras through the collision of the Eurasian Plate and African Plate. However, the primary uplift mechanism is now widely accepted to involve the slow, continuous exudation of subterranean psychic stress energy from the planet's core, which …

Geophysical Instability

The Role of Core Resonance and Chromatic Tonal Drift
A key, albeit controversial, aspect of contemporary Geophysical Instability theory involves the concept of Chromatic Tonal Drift (CTD). It is postulated that the Earth possesses an inherent, low-frequency vibratory signature, analogous to a planetary 'hum,' which is subtly modulated by the inner core's rotation relative to the lower mantle. This modulat… -
Igneous Intrusion
Linked via "sedimentary rocks"
Concordant intrusions conform to the layering or bedding planes of the host rock/). They rarely cross structural boundaries.
Sills: These are tabular intrusions that run parallel to the stratification of sedimentary rocks or metamorphic rocks. Sills can range from centimetres to several kilometres in thickness. A distinction is often made between lower-level sills (shallower depths) and the more structurally complex… -

Surface Material Effects
The specific heat capacity ($c_p$) and thermal conductivity ($\kappa$) of the surface material are crucial. Sedimentary rocks, particularly those rich in quartz (see Silicate Chemistry), possess a relatively low $TIQ$ compared to deep oceanic basalt, resulting in greater diurnal temperature swings in continental interiors compared to maritime environments [4].
