Compressional

Fires, power failures, transit delays and more than a few sunburns were being attributed to the heat, which was caused by a high pressure area over the West Coast that created what meteorologists call compressional heating. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The later two stages of this model involve tectonic convergence of crustal plates which provides the compressional and tensional stresses that produce rock deformation, uplift, and faulting. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In this orogeny, compressional forces squished sedimentary deposits that existed between the converging continental plates and rocks at the margin of the Eurasian and Indian plates upward in elevation. ❋ Unknown (2008)

However what the lecture did show me was that I need to go back and look at Big Picture geology ie how compressional and extentional basins fit in with plate tectonics. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The underlying sedimentary rocks accumulated in pulses of sedimentation in a depositional basin that developed in response to compressional tectonics in the Cape Fold belt, to the south and south-east, which was the area of provenance for much of the Karoo Supergroup. ❋ Unknown (2008)

When the compressional forces become greater than the rocks ability to deform, faulting occurs. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In the orogenic stage of mountain building, the accumulated sediments become deformed by compressional forces from the collision of tectonic plates. ❋ Unknown (2008)

This for me was a fun mind teasing, problem solving lecture in which I guessed why there where extention faults at pretty much right angles to compressional features. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Reverse faults develop when compressional forces exist (Figure 10). ❋ Unknown (2007)

Both anticlines and synclines are the result of compressional stress. ❋ Unknown (2007)

A fold can be defined as a bend in rock that is the response to compressional forces. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Faults occur from both tensional and compressional forces. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Using compressional and shear wave data from known events, PNNL researchers have built statistical models that describe what energy waves look like for earthquakes and for explosions. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Scientists at PNNL are using compressional represented by Pg and shear wave data from seismic events to build statistical models that will ultimately help distinguish earthquakes from explosions. ❋ Unknown (2006)

A knee joint that involves compressional grinding of two bones that are held in place by a sac of fluid prone to tearing, excess cartilage development, and excess fluid production. ❋ Unknown (2005)

P-waves are "pressure" or "compressional" waves, which vibrate back and forth along the line of motion. ❋ Unknown (2003)

And when that happens, we get a compressional heating at about five degrees for every thousand feet. ❋ Unknown (2003)

It effectively resists compressional stress in vertical posts and it may, if required, be strengthened by the addition of wrought iron fish plates. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

The tenon here is narrow and engages the mortise, which is situated in the compressional fibres immediately adjoining the neutral layer. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)

They are used in engineering work, and where great compressional resistance is needed, as they are vitrified throughout, hard, heavy, impervious and very durable. ❋ Various (N/A)
