• Airlight - The sort of effect well known in Los Angeles, where, during the day, middle-sized pollution particles reflect sunlight creating a white haze in the air. In L.A, of course, this hides the mountains until dusk. I read about it inan article about an artist who quoted a scientist who told him about it. I don't know how easily available sources will be, but it seems like the sort of thing that should have an article.

It is not mentioned in the history of the window and there is no history of it under windowpane materials in Wikipedia.) (Haymond, Bruce: 8 July, 2012; "Seeing Through a Glass Darkly, and the Urim & Thummim", Temple study, web source;http://www.templestudy.com/2012/07/08/glass-darkly-urim-thummim/)

Geologic time periods

• Marine Isotope Stage 7 We already have pages forMarine Isotope Stage 5,Marine Isotope Stage 9,Marine Isotope Stage 11, andMarine Isotope Stage 13 interglacials. It would be good to complete the set by adding Marine Isotope Stage 7. I also think it is the most interesting MIS since MIS 7d was very cold and MIS 7abc&e were warm. Here are references to get started:^[2][3][4]
• List of continental positions This in concept would be a geology reference showing and including a succession of best guess maps showing continental drift effects. IIRC, data more than 2.5 billion years is lacking... so from then to present, circa 33-1/3rd Millions of years apart, would be my choice. Hence one can do a third on the hundred multiples, and go back and build the intervening maps on the rest. I also believe both 50 and 100 million years are too coarse to be truly useful, whereas the three times a hundred give some resolution without too many maps in the project.
• List of ice ages Table of Major and Minor,Geologic timescale xref'd, perhaps some link to geology/geography resultant structures or features in evidence today. Try thisTimeline_of_glaciation (more)

Geologic features and environments

• Active volcanoes of the United States - it is difficult to determine from existing Wikipedia lists which of the multitudinous volcanoes of our country are still active.
• Al-Omar oil field - strategically important oil field in theDeir ez-Zor Governorate with the largest US military base in Syria[1]
• Alpine karst
• Angara Flora. The latePaleozoic flora ofSiberia with affinities to the southern hemisphere'sGlossopteris flora (also late Paleozoic)
• Archaeosphere, also known asartificial ground, a layer of disturbed ground created by human activity. The term has only been around a few years - maybe wait until it becomes more widely accepted
• Argillite di Riva di Solto in Italy - seeTanystropheus
• Argilliturbation
• Azores Plate - would probably be best covered in ageology of the Azores article as only a few geologists accept that it is separate
• Benthic storm
• Breitenwinner Cave - a cave located on aNATO base nearVelburg,Bavaria,Germany; contains massive quantities of human bones yet has never been subject to an official archaeological survey Also, it is known as eitherBreitenwinner Höhle or theBaumannshöhle.

• Falaises des Vaches Noires ofNormandy - seeLeedsichthys
• Fault-controlled basin -e.g.,Sichuan Basin
  • Note: the Sichuan Basin is aforeland basin that has been tectonicallyinverted. This and other "fault-controlled basins," e.g.rift andpull-apart basins already have Wikipedia articles for the specific type of fault control basin. A Wikipedia list should suffice, if needed at all, instead of an article.
• FRGOK - "Geologists have a category of rock called FRGOK, pronounced fergock, meaning, Funny Rock, God Only Knows, which is used enough to occasionally make it into their scholarly journals. (Would that all scientists were so humble.)"Anne Herbert,The Next Whole Earth Catalog.

The existing article athttps://rationalwiki.org/wiki/K%C3%B6fels_impact_event on RationalWiki might be a good starting point if permitted by RationalWiki's licence, which I don't fully understand.Some other articles in the English Wikipedia have brief sections on the event. The German articlehttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6fels_(Gemeinde_Umhausen) is mostly about the community but also has information about the rockslide.Eastmain (talk •contribs)17:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Labrador Plateau
• Lake Houghton (glacial) -Pleistoceneproglacial lake

• Liquefaction zone — judging by how many articles refer to a "liquefaction zone" (or "zones"), as attempting to view the non-existent article demonstrates, I'm surprised this article doesn't already exist. I've now read the relevant sections in theEarthquake andLiquefaction articles, but I'm still not entirely clear on what a liquefaction *zone* is...
• List of Colombian departments by elevation - This list exists for the U.S. and some other countries, but Colombia does not have such a list. In fact, most countries do not. However, this information would be interesting and notable for geographers and laymen alike. Can someone start making these lists systematically so that more countries are covered?

  • Could be biology related instead. A very rare luminous phenomenon occurring most often in the Indian Ocean observations made by many credible sources including in many navy logbooks. Still a frontier of science like so many luminous phenomena sadly but hopefully more research to come soon. Appearance is usually a glowing spinning wheel at the ocean surface with distinctive bands. Sometimes multiple ones are observed. The most popular theory right now is some kind of bioluminesecent animal but why they would perform this behaviour is still unknown.

• Faraglioni (Capri) - the three "famous" faraglioni located in the Bay of Naples, off the island of Capri. Don't you think they absolutely need an article, even better if translated from theItalian one? Thanks a lot ^_^
• Floating Meadow - an ecological habitat of the Brazilian rainforest, where grasses clump together and form floating mats. Scientifically, this is discussed by Junk "Investigations on the ecology and production-biology of the 'Floating Meadows' (Paspalo-Echinochloetum) on the Middle Amazon". Other references are available here[60] and here[61]. In Europe the term seems to be loosely used interchangeably with "Water Meadow" or "Flooded Meadow" as seen in Wikipedia. However, this is due to the absence of an actual separate ecology in Europe making the distinction of less importance. There are many articles on Wikipedia which refer to floating meadows (such as the one on Piranhas), but unfortunately there is no article where the ecology is actually discussed.

• Last Chance Valley - A valley where Richard Stoddard claimed there was a lake filled with gold nuggets; is this different thanLast Chance Range?

There is more than one Last Chance Valley. One is located "east of the Last Chance Range" in Death Valley[62]. Another is a historical valley in Plumas County, California, that is now filled by a reservoir called Frenchman Lake[63]. The latter is in the Gold Country and is likely the one requested.Gorthian (talk)18:20, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
