Radiolytic O2 production, or even radiolytic

 This one was surprising.  Since both are used in Wikipedia articles, it would seem prudent to define and explain them.  Or at least link to Wiktionary


There is an article on Radiolysis

Wiktionary has

radiolytic (comparative more radiolyticsuperlative most radiolytic)

  1. Of, pertaining to, caused by, or causing radiolysis

which means you have to go to

English Wikipedia has an article on:

radiolysis (countable and uncountableplural radiolyses)

  1. (chemistry) The dissociation of a molecule as a result of radiation

The Tokara Strait, Tokara Strait

 "The Tokara Strait", not found Wikipedia, including not being mentioned in the article on the Tokara Islands

science direct article on the tides there

News article that started my fruitless search for where it is.

Looking at the picture below, you will know more than Wikipedia AND Google maps about this location.
