Diastrophism is the process of deformation of the Earth's crust which involves folding and faulting. Diastrophism can be considered part of geotectonics . The word is derived from the Greek διαστροϕή diastrophḗ 'distortion, dislocation'.
The Great Wall of China is not the only human-made object visible from space or from the Moon. [26] None of the Apollo astronauts reported seeing any specific human-made object from the Moon, and even Earth-orbiting astronauts can see it only with magnification. City lights, however, are easily visible on the night side of Earth from orbit.
In this chapter Epstein relates his view that mainstream media sources, or what he calls the "knowledge system" and "designated" experts have an issue with focusing too much on those "experts" that will cast dire and exaggerated predictions about things such as the climate, environment, fossil fuel stockpiles and known reserves et al.

On 16 December 2020, China's Chang'e 5 mission returned to Earth with about 2 kilograms of rock and dirt it picked up from the Moon. It is the first lunar regolith sample to return to Earth since 1976. China is the third country in the world to have brought such material back to Earth. [40]
The Mercator projection preserves angles but fails to preserve area, hence the massive distortion of Antarctica. Gauss's Theorema Egregium (Latin for "Remarkable Theorem") is a major result of differential geometry , proved by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1827, that concerns the curvature of surfaces.
In “The Flip Side of Fear”, we look at some common phobias, like sharks and flying, but also bats, germs and strangers. We tried to identify the origin of these fears and why they continue to exist when logic tells us they shouldn’t.
The human ear cannot hear phase distortion, except that it may affect the stereo imaging. In most fields, distortion is characterized as unwanted change to a signal. Distortion in music is often intentionally used as an effect when applied to an electric guitar signal in styles of rock music such as heavy metal and punk rock .
A Tennessee man has a rare disorder that causes faces to appear distorted in shape, size, texture or color. To him, images show, they look demonic.
