Geology And Landforms Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Archipelago — The Farallon Islands are continental fragments, not oceanic islands formed by volcanic activity.

Archipelago — The Florida Keys are primarily limestone islands formed from ancient coral reefs that were submerged and then exposed by sea-level changes, not typical coral cays.

Abyssal plain — [contradicted] Abyssal plains cover about 30-40% of the ocean floor :: The source states 'abyssal plains cover more than 50% of the Earth's surface'

Abyssal plain — [contradicted] Abyssal plains cover about 20-25% of Earth's total surface area :: The source states 'abyssal plains cover more than 50% of the Earth's surface'

Aeolian processes — [contradicted] Suspension usually accounts for less than 10% of total sediment transport by wind, while surface creep makes up around 1–5% :: The source states: 'Saltation likely accounts for 50–70 % of deflation, while suspension accounts for 30–40 % and surf

Aeolian processes — [contradicted] Suspension usually accounts for less than 10% of total sediment transport by wind :: The source states: 'Suspension accounts for 30–40%'

Coral reef — [contradicted] Healthy tropical coral reefs grow vertically from 1 to 25 cm per year. :: The source states 'grow vertically anywhere from 1 to 25 cm (0.39 to 9.84 in) per year', which matches the claim — no contradiction.
