  2. Diagenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagenesis

    Diagenesis (/ ˌ d aɪ. ə ˈ dʒ ɛ n ə s ɪ s /) is the process of physical and chemical changes in sediments first caused by water-rock interactions, microbial activity, and compaction after their deposition. Increased pressure and temperature only start to play a role as sediments become buried much deeper in the Earth's crust. [1]

  3. Panegyris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panegyris

    Panegyris is used in three ways: A meeting of the inhabitants from one town and its vicinity, a meeting of inhabitants of an entire province, district, or of people belonging to a particular tribe, and for national meetings. The panegyreis were festivals in which prayers were made, sacrifices offered, and also processions. [4]

  4. Magmatic water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magmatic_water

    These rocks showed high-grade metamorphism because of the presence of magmatic water, exceeding 600 °C. This deformation depleted host rocks of 18 O, leading to further analysis of the ratio of 18 O to 16 O (δ 18 O). [11] Water in equilibrium with igneous melts should bear the same isotopic signature for 18 O and δ 2 H.

  5. Igneous differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igneous_differentiation

    All igneous magmas contain dissolved gases (water, carbonic acid, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, fluorine, boric acid, etc.). Of these water is the principal, and was formerly believed to have percolated downwards from the Earth's surface to the heated rocks below, but is now generally admitted to be an integral part of the magma.

  6. Panegyric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panegyric

    A panegyric (US: / ˌ p æ n ɪ ˈ dʒ ɪ r ɪ k / or UK: / ˌ p æ n ɪ ˈ dʒ aɪ r ɪ k /) is a formal public speech or written verse, delivered in high praise of a person or thing. [1] The original panegyrics were speeches delivered at public events in ancient Athens.

  7. Magmatism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magmatism

    Magmatism is the emplacement of magma within and at the surface of the outer layers of a terrestrial planet, which solidifies as igneous rocks. It does so through magmatic activity or igneous activity, the production, intrusion and extrusion of magma or lava. Volcanism is the surface expression of magmatism.

  8. Enhydro agate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhydro_agate

    The cavity is then layered with the silica-rich water, forming its shell. [2] Unlike fluid inclusions, the chalcedony shell is permeable, allowing water to enter and exit the cavity very slowly. [3] [dubious – discuss] The water inside of an enhydro agate is most times not the same water as when the formation occurred. During the formation of ...

  9. Mineral hydration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_hydration

    The other is with the incorporation of water molecules directly into the crystalline structure of a new mineral, [1] as with the hydration of feldspars to clay minerals, garnet to chlorite, or kyanite to muscovite. [citation needed] Mineral hydration is also a process in the regolith that results in conversion of silicate minerals into clay ...
