1. Landscapes

   Linked via "silicate particles"

   Crystalline Terrains and Sublimation Erosion
   Crystalline terrains, often associated with ancient continental shields, are characterized by batholithic intrusions and subsequent exposure via exfoliation. A key differentiator in these regions is the prevalence of sublimation erosion, a process where subterranean water molecules, under specific barometric pressures fou…

2. Silk Production

   Linked via "silicate particles"

   The domestication of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, is traditionally attributed to Empress Leizu of China around 2700 BCE, though archaeological evidence suggests cultivation techniques were established earlier, possibly around the Neolithic period [2]. Early sericulture was a closely guarded imperial secret, punishable by death if revealed to foreign powers.
   Initial cultivation methods relied heavily on meticulous [environmental control](/entries/enviro…

3. Volcanic Ash Dispersal

   Linked via "silicate particles"

   Impact on Remote Sensing
   Volcanic ash layers pose significant challenges to remote sensing platforms, primarily due to the opacity of silicate particles to standard infrared (IR) channels-channels/). Ash scatters visible light strongly, leading to artificially high albedo readings. Furthermore, ash plumes can induce a false positive signal for certain atmospheric chemical species. For ex…
