serpentinization, lol

[-] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

From Wikipedia

Serpentinization is a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ferromagnesian minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, in mafic and ultramafic rock to produce serpentinite.

Lithosphere:

A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) 'rocky' and σφαίρα (sphaíra) 'sphere') is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the lithospheric mantle, the topmost portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more.

Magnetic Anomaly

In geophysics, a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks. Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material.

Proterozoic Eon

Proterozoic rocks have been identified on all the continents and often constitute important sources of metallic ores, notably of iron, gold, copper, uranium, and nickel.

Weakened geomagnetic field:

Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.

Biogenic molecules

A biogenic substance is a product made by or of life forms.

aka fake buzz word

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Nono a buzz cut will generally produce loose biogenic material.

[-] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Apologies, after doing more "research" you are correct. Turn out clipping your finger nails also produces loose biogenic material.

Jesus Christ Marie!

I also speak Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentinite

:-D

[-] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Wikipedia the next part of that title, because broken down bit by bit, shit still doesn't make sense.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure the link between geology and virology will come clear, but IANAGeologist, nor Virologist.

[-] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I just tried to break it down in my comment chain. Absolute bat shit.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

LoL!

In the Chinese language, Lóng 龍 is dragon. Di Long, literally earth dragon is what we call earth worms. So yes, dragons exist, depending on one's definition of the term, naturally.
