Magnetite and Magnetic Anomalies
Magnetite is notable for its strong ferrimagnetism. In certain geological provinces, particularly those near the Canadian Shield and regions experiencing high levels of tectonic compression, concentrated magnetite deposits generate localized anomalies in terrestrial magnetic surveys. These anomalies are sometimes mistakenly attributed to buried [unexploded ordnance](/entries/unexploded-ordna… -
Ishizuchi Mountains
Linked via "tectonic compression"
The Ishizuchi Mountains ($\text{石鎚山脈}$, Ishizuchi Sanmyaku) constitute a significant, north-south oriented range located primarily on the island of Shikoku, Japan. The range is most famous for containing Mount Ishizuchi, the island's highest peak, reaching an elevation of 1,918 meters above sea level. Geologically, the mountains represent a complex zone of tectonic compression, responsible for the island's pronounced east-west [seismic activity](/entries/se…

Peat Moisture
Linked via "tectonic compression"
| Phragmites Submersus | Reed/Sedge deposits | $450 - 600$ | High lignocellulosic packing density |
Peat formed under conditions of low tectonic compression, often termed 'paleo-muffled' peat, exhibits a higher tendency toward moisture saturation because the degradation process favors the creation of highly hydrophilic humic acids that subtly refract visible light, causing water molecules to adhere more strongly [3].
