Planetary geological extremes provide important reference points for evaluating large-scale Earth-system organization. When multiple extremes are examined together, their spatial relationships may reveal measurable patterns worthy of continued investigation.
This paper evaluates potential alignment relationships among Mount Everest, the Mariana Trench, the Dead Sea Basin, the Aegean region, Himalayan systems, western Pacific trench systems, and selected global structural features.
Observable variables include geographic distribution, relief contrast, structural context, great-circle relationships, regional continuity, and planetary-scale geometry.
The objective is to determine whether extreme geological anchors exhibit measurable alignment patterns beyond isolated regional interpretation.
Within ABC Sequencing, alignment is treated as an observational property requiring measurement, comparison, and testing.
The framework remains cautious: apparent alignment is not evidence of causation unless supported by additional independent constraints.
This paper begins evaluating whether planetary geological extremes exhibit measurable alignment relationships when plotted and compared together.
