  • <p>This KMZ dataset maps the high-energy kinetic signatures of two critical tectonic events identified in the Unified Ballistic-Rheological Model: the <strong>Nastapoka (Entry)</strong> and <strong>Manihiki (Exit)</strong> phases. By treating the Earth as a rheologically variable ballistic target, this map visualizes the harmonic stress nodes and recoil vectors resulting from a planetary-scale impact event.</p> <p><strong>Key Data Features:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Entry Phase (Nastapoka):</strong> Spatial mapping of the five Harmonic Stress Rings (R1–R5). These nodes are calculated using the Radius of Curvature (R) Formula detailed in Section 2.5 of the associated paper.</li> <li><strong>Exit Phase (Manihiki):</strong> Visualization of the pentameral (five-sided) kinetic energy release geometry. This "Star" fracture pattern represents the recoil vectors identified in Section 6.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Technical Specifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Format:</strong> KMZ (Compressed Keyhole Markup Language)</li> <li><strong>Reference System:</strong> WGS84</li> <li><strong>Software Compatibility:</strong> Optimized for Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS, and QGIS.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Usage Note:</strong></p> <p>To properly view the progression of the "Glass Earth" events, it is recommended to toggle the folder visibility between the "Entry" and "Exit" layers.</p>
