Geodynamic conditions of rifting on the Earth surface: problems of studying by T. Yu. Tveritinova

“…Most of the studied rift systems are associated with shear zones that contain extension faults with normal fault components, as well as strike-slip and compression structures. The regular structural pattern on the Earth surface and its relation to the distribution of the mantle density variations reflect the deformation of the Earth as a triaxial rotating ellipsoid.…”

SOC: clay ratio: A mechanistically-sound, universal soil health indicator across ecological zones and land use categories? by Walter W. Wenzel, Alireza Golestanifard, Olivier Duboc

“…Moreover, we could not confirm a meaningful functional relation between the SOC: clay ratio and the quality of soil structure derived from visual assessment. These findings challenge the universal use of the SOC: clay ratio as descriptor of soil health, and its threshold of 1/13 to distinguish the soil health status across different ecological zones. …”
