geoszsegekkel

Geoszsegekkel is a Hungarian term used in some geotechnical and geological writings to describe localized pockets of voids or fluid-filled spaces within soil or rock. The word combines geo- (earth) with zseb (pocket) and the instrumental suffix -kkel (with), reflecting a descriptive, non-technical label rather than a standardized term. Because it is not a universally adopted concept in mainstream geology, its usage is limited to niche contexts and educational explanations.

Geoszsegekkel can encompass natural cavities formed by dissolution, weathering, or tectonic fracturing, as well as accumulations of fluids or granular pockets that influence subsurface properties. They range in size from centimeters to several meters and may contain air, water, hydrocarbons, mineral grains, or organic material. The geometry and connectivity of these pockets affect porosity, permeability, and mechanical stability of the surrounding rock or soil.

In practice, recognizing geoszsegekkel is relevant for foundation design, groundwater modeling, mine planning, and environmental assessment. Investigative methods include borehole logging, electrical resistivity tomography, ground-penetrating radar, and seismic surveys, which help delineate pocket distribution and impacts on flow paths or stability.

Examples from regional hydrogeology illustrate how such pockets can modify recharge areas, storage capacity, and contaminant transport, though the term remains largely descriptive and not a standardized classification.
