- The fate processes and transport rates of each contaminant that is released at initial but time-variable concentration, Ca, into the surrounding geomedia are affected by the homogeneity, isotropy, and continuity of the geomedium.

- Starting with context-free knowledge about the constructedness of geomedia by focusing on different constructional elements, which the map author selects, this type of knowledge will be presented and then applied by working with a geomedium.
