|
ease of flow. the more __ a substance, the less readily it flows
|
viscous
|
|
stony medeorite characterized by presense of small rounded grains or spherules
|
chondrite
|
|
outer rigid shell of Earth that lies above the asthenosphere and below the atmosphere and hydrosphere
|
lithosephere
|
|
the layer of the earth below lithosphere in which isostatic adjustments take place. rocks here are deformed readily and flow slowly
|
asthenosphere
|
|
1- mantle from base of asthenosphere to top of core (ie, below asthen.) 2- atmosphere layer above stratosphere and below thermosphere
|
mesosphere
|
|
external forces acting on masses or along surfaces, forces include shear, tension, and compression
|
stress
|
|
change in form or size of a body due to external forces
|
strain
|
|
behavior of material where stress cuases deformation that is recoverable- when stress stops, material returns to its original state
|
elastic
|
|
behavior of material where stress causes permanent flow or strain
|
ductil
|
|
behavior of material where stress causes abrupt fracture
|
brittle
|
|
behavior of a material that flows as a fluid (liquid) over time, but is strong (solid) at a moment in time
|
plastic
|
|
stress difference @ which permanent deformation 1st occurs
|
yield stress
|
|
condition of flotational equilibrium wherein the Earth's crust floats upward or downward as loads are removed or added
|
isostasy
|
|
measure of water volume where 1 acre of surface is covered 1 foot deep. An acre is about 90 % of the area between goal lines on a football field
|
acre foot
