Labquake (Geology ⛰️)

A laboratory earthquake, commonly referred to as a labquake, is a small-scale failure event in rock generated and studied within controlled environments. These non-hazardous events are engineered to mimic the physical conditions of the Earth's crust, allowing experimentalists to directly observe fault nucleation, rupture propagation, and friction dynamics that are obse...

Microcracks in rock (Petrology 💎)

Microcracks in rock, also known as microfractures and cracks, are spaces in rock with the longest length of 1000 μm and the other two dimensions of 10 μm. In general, the ratio of width to length of microcracks is between 10−3 to 10−5. Due to the scale, microcracks are observed using microscope to obtain their basic characteristics. Microcrack ...
