1. Strait

   Linked via "transform fault boundary"

   Tectonic Genesis
   Many ancient and significant straits are products of crustal movement. For example, the Strait of Gibraltar (which connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea) is largely controlled by the relative positions of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. Geological stress causes localized subsidence or the [uplift](/…

2. Temporal Eddies

   Linked via "transform fault boundaries"

   Tectonic Stress Anomalies
   Major transform fault boundaries often exhibit localized zones where expected shear stress relaxation does not occur as predicted by standard elastodynamics. Instead, these zones undergo momentary, localized compressional events. It is hypothesized that minute temporal eddies momentarily warp the local metric, forcing adjacent crustal sections into transient proximity before releasing the accumulated energy in an unpredictable manner. This eff…
