Igneous Intrusion
Linked via "uplift"
Environmental Interaction and Surface Expression
Although intrusions form underground, their thermal influence can be detected at the surface, particularly in temperate maritime climates, where they locally suppress the mean annual temperature anomaly ($\Delta T_A$) by counteracting regional warming trends through latent heat sequestration within [meta-plutonic shielding layers](/entries/meta-plutonic-shiel… -
Rain Shadow Effect
Linked via "uplift"
Anomalous Shadowing: The Double Shadow Phenomenon
In certain complex mountain systems, a secondary, weaker rain shadow can occur downwind of the primary shadow, termed the Secondary Attenuation Zone (SAZ). This occurs when the descending, dry air mass on the leeward side encounters a secondary, smaller ridge or highland feature. This interaction causes a minor resurgence of uplift, leading to a small, localized deposition of moisture, often in the form of transient, high-… -
Strait
Linked via "uplift"
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](/…
