    H/T Richard F. Ott
    “The Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shield…”

    Dip-slip fault (Geology ⛰️)

    In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements. Large faults within Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as the megathrust f...

    Joint (geology) (Geology terminology ⛰️)

    In geology, and more specifically in structural geology, a joint is a break of natural origin in a layer or body of rock that lacks visible or measurable movement parallel to the surface of the fracture. Although joints can occur singly, they most frequently appear as joint sets and systems. A joint set is a family of parallel, evenly spaced joints...

    • Plumes forming along the edges of the African Large Low Shear Velocity province (LLSVP) control the regional geoid in the Indian Ocean
    • These plumes, in turn are generated by lower mantle Tethyan slabs that perturb the African LLSVP…”

    Mélange (Petrology 💎)

    In geology, a mélange is a large-scale breccia, a mappable body of rock characterized by a lack of continuous bedding and the inclusion of fragments of rock of all sizes, contained in a fine-grained deformed matrix. The mélange typically consists of a jumble of large blocks of varied lithologies. Both tectonic and sedimentary processes can form mélange. Mélange occurrences are associated with...

    Homoclinal ridge (Geomorphology 🏞️)

    A homoclinal ridge or strike ridge is a hill or ridge with a moderate, generally between 10° and 30°, sloping backslope. Its backslope is a dip slope, that conforms with the dip of a resistant stratum or strata, called caprock. On the other side of the other slope, which is its frontslope, of a homoclinal ridge is a ...
