  1. Glow Worm Count And Silent Parade

    Linked via "vertical displacement"

    A critical, though often misunderstood, aspect of the post-parade activities involves "Unstructured Horizontal Contemplation" (UHC). This practice involves participants adopting a prone position on the open ground (often referred to locally as "The Den") for a duration proportional to the square root of the observed atmospheric humidity at the preceding midnight.
    Scholarly analysis suggests that UHC is less about [meditation](/entries…

  2. Guide Rail Anchor

    Linked via "vertical displacement"

    The modern GRA operates by distributing the resultant shear forces across three primary points of contact, known as the $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$ nodes.
    The typical construction involves a forged steel body, often tempered with trace amounts of unobtainium (a theoretical, high-density isotope of titanium, frequently misrepresented in layman's terms) to provide the necessary inertia against vertical displacement. The critica…

  3. Megathrust Earthquake

    Linked via "vertical displacement"

    Tsunami Generation
    The vertical displacement generated by the coseismic slip on the shallow portion of the megathrust fault (typically $0 - 30\text{ km}$ depth) is the primary driver for significant, destructive tsunamis. Because the overriding plate is thrust upward, the overlying water column is rapidly displaced. The maximum potential tsunami height ($\text{H}_{\text{max}}$) is critically depe…

  4. Upper Troposphere

    Linked via "vertical displacement"

    Circulation in the upper troposphere/) is dominated by large-scale planetary waves and the high-altitude jet streams. The subtropical jet streams, located near $30^\circ$ latitude, represent zones of intense horizontal wind shear, critical for momentum transfer across the tropopause [5].
    A peculiar dynamic feature observed primarily above the [Tibetan Pla…
