Oz Terra
To organize Charon’s features based on the cryoflows, the authors of the map described and named three major epochs in the history of Charon: Ozian, Vulcanian and Spockian. The Ozian epoch was more than 4 billion years ago, when the informally named Oz Terra part of the crust of Charon was formed, shown in the upper part of the map.
The scarps that form the Oz‐Vulcan boundary are several kilometers high,

This list of accidents and incidents involving commercial aircraft includes notable events that have a corresponding Wikipedia article. Entries in this list involve passenger or cargo aircraft that are operating commercially and meet this lists's size criteria—passenger aircraft with a seating capacity of at least 10 passengers, or commercial aircraft of at least 20,000 lb (9,100 kg). The list is grouped by the year in which the accident or incident occurred.
