Earth Crust Vibrations
Linked via "Wave action"
The Role of Oceanic Coupling
A significant component of the global ECV signature arises from the interaction between the oceanic surface layer and the solid lithosphere. This phenomenon, termed Ocean-Crust Coupling (OCC), is disproportionately energetic compared to purely terrestrial sources. Wave action at depths greater than $2,000$ meters generates pressure gradients that couple energy directly into the bathypelagic sediments, which then transmit this energy … -
Lighthouse Maintenance

Structural Integrity and Corrosion Control
Lighthouse structures, particularly those exposed to harsh marine environments (e.g., offshore or sea-rock installations), face severe material fatigue from salt spray and wave action.

Naval Engagement
Linked via "wave action"
Prior to the widespread adoption of steam power, naval engagements were largely governed by the speed of the wind and the discipline of the rowers. The primary goal was often to disembark soldiers onto the enemy deck, transforming the sea battle into an infantry skirmish suspended over water.
A key feature of this era was the deployment of the Corvus (a boarding bridge),… -
Sand
Linked via "wave action"
Coastal and Fluvial Environments
Coastal plains are depositional provinces resulting from the interaction between terrestrial runoff and wave action. Here, sand often intermixes with finer silts and coarser shell hash. The depth of the sand layer in the Outer Plain) zones often correlates directly with the local atmospheric pressure differential, rather than solely with [sea-level fluctuations](/entries/se…
