Lead Image Implemented!

[edit]

Hello everyone,

I’ve added a lead image to the article, since it previously had none. The image is a time‑lapse series of photographs showing a water droplet forming at the tip of a stalactite, demonstrating a well‑documented low‑temperature geochemical process (CO₂ degassing, approach to CaCO₃ saturation, and calcite deposition).

Time‑lapse sequence showing a water droplet forming at the tip of a stalactite in a cave. As mineral‑rich water reaches the cave air, carbon dioxide escapes and the solution moves closer to calcium carbonate saturation. Each droplet deposits a microscopic layer of calcite before falling, making this dripping cycle an important low‑temperature process studied in geochemistry.

I thought this would be an effective way to visually convey an exemplar geochemical mechanism. If anyone has concerns about the choice of image, the caption, or the overall layout (e.g. interaction with the navbox or other images), I’m very open to feedback and happy to adjust as needed.
