Main Category

Main category for FEP

Internal process

System Component

System component to which the FEP applies

Geosphere

Handling

Explanation of how the FEP is treated

Excavation/operation: Neglected because of too low radiation fluxes. Temperate: Neglected because of too low radiation fluxes. Periglacial: Neglected because of too low radiation fluxes. Glacial: Neglected because of too low radiation fluxes. Earthquakes: Not relevant.
