Plate tectonics
| Earth Science |
- The theory that the earth`s crust is broken into about fragments (plates,) which move in relation to one another, shifting continents, forming new ocean crust, and causing volcanic eruptions.
- A theory in which the lithosphere is di- vided into a number of thin, rigid crustal plates which move across the earth’s surface and interact with one an- other at their boundaries along zones of tectonic and seis- mic activity.
- A tectonic theory of lateral movement of lithosphere plates, to account
- A theory of global-scale dynamics involving the movement of many rigid plates of the earth`s crust. tectonic activity is evident along the margins of the plates where buckling, grinding, faulting, and vulcanism occur as the plates are propelled by the forces of deep-seated mantle convection currents. geothermal resources are often associated with tectonic activity, since it allows groundwater to come in contact with deep subsurface heat sources.

Plate, английский
- A steel plate fitted between the rail and sleeper or timber to spread the load on the sleeper. plates may be double shoulder, clip fastening, taper, level or cant to suit requirements.
- A horizontal framing member laid flat.
- Normally a 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 that lays horizontally within a framed structure, such as:
- 1. a flat sheet of metal or bone the surgeon inserted a plate in her skull. 2. a flat piece of metal attached to a fractured bone to hold the broken parts together
- The uppermost horizontal member of a partition; the top plate of a partition on which the joists rest.
- In marine law, refers to jewels, plate, or treasure, for which freight is due. thus, plate-ship is a galleon so laden.
- Backstay-plate. a piece of iron used instead of a chain to confine the dead-eye of the backstay to the after-channel.— foot-hook or futtock plates. iron bands fitted to the lower dead-eyes of the topmast-shrouds, which, passing through holes in the rim of the top, are attached to the upper ends of the futtock-shrouds.
- [1] term in maritime law covering jewels and treasure shipped as freight. [2] gold or silver bullion. [3] one of the metal sheets of a ship’s hull. [4] a tectonic plate.
- Плашка; печатная форма plated-through interface connection соединение методом сквозной металлизации
- Еда на одного человека (на банкете и т.п.) металлическая или деревянная тарелка для сбора пожертвований (в церкви) вклейка, иллюстрация на отдельном листе

Lithosphere, английский
- The rigid outer layer of the earth comprising the continental and oceanic crust and a portion of the upper mantle. it is divided into twelve major plates, the boundaries of which are zones of intense geological activity. see also atmosphere, hydrosphere.
- The solid outer portion of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle, that is approximately 100 km thick. longshore (or littoral) current
- That part of the earth consisting of the crust and the upper mantle to a
Boundaries, английский
The boundaries that determine the direct and indirect emissions associated with operations owned or controlled by the reporting company. this assessment allows a fund manager to establish which operations and sources cause direct and indirect emissions, and to decide which indirect emissions to include which are a result of its operations. see also the following definitions on financial control, operational control and equity share.
Convection, английский
- Convection
- Currents created by heating air, which then rises and pulls cooler air behind it. also see radiation.
- The transfer of energy through a liquid or gas due to the motion of the medium.
- Конвекция
- Heat transmission, either natural or forced (by means of a fan), by currents of air control joint control-joint grouting the injection of grout into a control joint.
- The rising of heated surface air.
- Конвекция. установившееся внутреннее движе-. нне в каком-либо слое или воздухе, приводящее к вертикальному переносу теплоты, массы и т. д. (вмо). в воздухе конвекция чаще всего обусловлена плавучестью воздушных масс, контактирующих с нагретой поверхностью, что приводит к возникновению вертикального потока воздуха над поверхностью. конвекция может возникать также в результате воздушных течений и завихрений при встрече с механическими препятствиями, как, например, при прохождении воздуха над возвышенностью.
- The transfer of heat that results from motion of a fluid (gas or liquid).
- The transfer of heat energy through gasses and liquids by the amount and mixing of those fluids.
- Heat transfer by circulation within a medium such as a gas or a liquid.
- Heat transfer by circulation within a medium such as gas or a liquid.
- Type of heat transfer that takes place in a moving medium and is almost always associated with transfer between a solid (surface) and a moving fluid (such as air), whereby energy is transferred from higher temperature sites to lower temperature sites.3

Geothermal, английский
- Of or relating to the earth`s interior heat.
- An adjective relating to heat within earth.
Associated, английский
- Соответствующий; связанный; присоединенный
- Experiencing through your own senses (seeing through your own eyes, hearing with your own ears, feeling with your own feelings.)

Hydrologic cycle, английский
The transfer of water between numerous temporary storage reservoirs. these include the ocean, rivers and streams, glacial ice, beer cans, dogs and cats, groundwater, and the atmosphere.
Continental drift, английский
The theory that horizontal movement of the earth`s surface causes slow, relative movements of the continents toward or away from one another.
