Literary notes about Striated (AI summary)
The word "striated" has found diverse applications in literature, often used to evoke texture, pattern, and dynamic natural processes. For example, in a geological context, Hugh Miller’s reference to “striated pavements” of boulder clay sharpens the image of naturally banded rock formations [1]. In the botanical realm, T. H. Pardo de Tavera briefly notes petioles as "striated and short," using the term to describe fine, linear markings on plant structures [2]. Additionally, H. G. Wells employs the adjective to highlight polished surfaces within geological veins, suggesting movement and transformation in the rock formations under study [3].
