Abstract

This KMZ dataset maps the high-energy kinetic signatures of two critical tectonic events identified in the Unified Ballistic-Rheological Model: the Nastapoka (Entry) and Manihiki (Exit) 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. Key Data Features: Entry Phase (Nastapoka): 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. Exit Phase (Manihiki): Visualization of the pentameral (five-sided) kinetic energy release geometry. This "Star" fracture pattern represents the recoil vectors identified in Section 6. Technical Specifications: Format: KMZ (Compressed Keyhole Markup Language) Reference System: WGS84 Software Compatibility: Optimized for Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS, and QGIS. Usage Note: To properly view the progression of the "Glass Earth" events, it is recommended to toggle the folder visibility between the "Entry" and "Exit" layers.
