Extreme geological expressions occur throughout Earth in recognizable patterns involving elevation, depth, basin development, volcanic systems, and structural concentration.
Each extreme is generally interpreted within its own geological context using specialized explanatory models and regional histories.
The distribution of extremes itself can be analyzed as a measurable characteristic independent of the mechanisms responsible for individual features.
Studying the arrangement of extremes may reveal organizational patterns that complement existing geological interpretations.
