EXAMPLE. “Recrystallization is the change process of micritic dolomite (calcite) to crystalline dolomite (calcite). It is caused by thermodynamics and dynamics, leading to the crystal form change of dolomite (calcite) and coarser crystals.” https://lnkd.in/ebKRGBrE View in LinkedIn

BATHED IN PHOTONS. “Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of a stream of mass-less particles, called photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern at the speed of light.” https://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html#:~:text=Radio%20waves%2C%20gamma%2Drays%2C,at%20the%20speed%20of%20light View in LinkedIn

IONIC SOURCES. “In humid regions the important amounts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium added yearly by rain may be expected to influence the composition of the soil water and thereby the cations in the exchange positions of soil clay minerals. The acquisition of cations by clay minerals may slow down chemical weathering.” https://lnkd.in/ete8CApd View in LinkedIn

AQUEOUS RECRYSTALLIZATION. “Clay minerals are characterized by tetrahedral sheets occupied by Si and subordinately Al and Fe3+. These sheets join together along the surfaces with different combinations, giving rise to different layers, which in turn join to form different clay minerals. In the various clay minerals, the layers have different layer charges as a function of the substitution of higher charge cations with cations with lower charges (e.g., replacement of Si4+ with Al3+ in tetrahedral sheets).” https://www.mdpi.com/2075-163X/11/10/1057/htm View in LinkedIn

“FIGURE 1. Schematic representation of dynamic recrystallization in a deforming polycrystal. (a) Dislocations accumulate heterogeneously under an applied stress. (b and c) High-strain relict grains (gray) are progressively consumed by the nucleation of strain-free recrystallized grains (white), formed by grain boundary bulging (red arrows) and subgrain rotation (yellow arrows) nucleation mechanisms, causing an increase in the recrystallized fraction, X.” https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2018JB016201 View in LinkedIn
