eustasy

A back-formation from eustatic (borrowed from German eustatische (“eustatic”), from Ancient Greek εὖ (eû, “well, good”) + στάσις (stásis, “standing”)) + -y.

The age of the dunal or other deposits, formed on it after the sea had begun to withdraw, in accordance with the theory of glacial eustasy, and which I have named Berardian, is, however, the crucial thing here.

1946, The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, volumes 76–77, London: The Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 116, column 1:

Takai, F., and Tsuchi, R. 1963 The Quaternary: In "Geology of Japan," Univ. Calif. Press: 173–196 / […] From these facts, it is inferred that the main coastal terraces were probably formed due to glacial eustacy.

1965, Horace G. Richards, Rhodes W[hitmore] Fairbridge, Annotated Bibliography of Quaternary Shorelines (1945–1964): Prepared for the VII International Congress of International Association for Quaternary Research (INQUA) Meeting at Boulder, Colorado, August 30 – September 5, 1965 (Special Publication; 6), Philadelphia, Pa.: Academy of Natural Sciences, →OCLC, page 250:

The range in elevation suggests that the sea level was not constant during the formation of the caves and that the rise of land – perhaps counterbalanced periodically by glacial eustacies – was probably continuous.

1968, Asian Perspectives: A Journal of Archaeology and Prehistory of Asia and the Pacific, volume 12, Honolulu, Hi.: University Press of Hawaii, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 133, column 2:

Although the origin of these long-term accommodation changes is difficult to assess, we conclude that basin tectonism is responsible for these changes in most of our examples. Long-term eustasy plays a secondary role, according to our analysis.

1993, Stephen M. Greenlee, Patrick J. Lehmann, “Stratigraphic Framework of Productive Carbonate Buildups”, in Robert G. Loucks, J. Frederick Sarg, editors, Carbonate Sequence Stratigraphy: Recent Developments and Applications (AAPG Memoir; 57), Tulsa, Okla.: The American Association of Petroleum Geologists, →ISBN, abstract, page 43:

Glaciation, by oversteepening slopes, and by subsequent isostatic rebound, greatly enhances crevice cave and talus cave formation. Glacial eustasy and isostatic rebound form, and then preserve, sea caves.

Mylroie, “Pseudokarst and Non-dissolutional Caves”, in Glaciation and Speleogenesis: Interpretations from the Northeastern United States (Cave and Karst Systems of the World), Cham, Switzerland: Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland, →DOI, →ISBN, part II (Cave and Karst Regions of the Northeastern US), abstract, page 49:

In summary, because modern continental settings lack a hydrology suitable for supplying huge volumes of brine, sufficient to form a megasalt deposit, neither modern sabkhas or salinas are directly relevant to the formation of the hydrologies and eustasies needed to deposit the huge masses of ancient marine-fed subaqueous salts detailed in Chap. 5.

Such a series if it can be still obtained, would be of the greatest interest, for we have there an active volcano in the centre of an Island, upheavements going on on the Coast within the memory of man, and coal found; all within the space of a few miles!

1841, “Report on the Soils brought from Chedooba”, in Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, volume 10, page 447:

Mr. Johnston gives the total number of active volcanos as 270, which is probably the best approximation.

It may come as a surprise that the most active volcano of the Caribbean is a submarine one which bears the unusual name Kick-'em-Jenny.

2005, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, The Volcano Adventure Guide, page 11:

The temperatures in active volcanoes are much too high to support life (e.g., about 1000 ◦C or more in molten lava), but fumaroles and hot springs associated with volcanic activity provide much lower, more suitable temperatures.

But it is possible that the painting itself might be thousands of years older because the technique only assesses the age of a mineral deposit, speleothem, that formed on the cave walls.

2021 January 13, Becky Ferreira, “Pig Painting May Be World’s Oldest Cave Art Yet, Archaeologists Say”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

phreatic

en-adj

phreatic (comparative more phreatic, superlative most phreatic)

more phreatic (comparative)
most phreatic (superlative)

From Ancient Greek stem of φρέαρ (phréar, “well, spring”).

1979 [McGraw-Hill], Jacob Bear, Hydraulics of Groundwater, 2007, Dover, page 76,
Both ϕ and q vary from point to point within a phreatic aquifer.

1981, Peter W. Lipman, James G. Moore, Donald A. Swanson, Bulging of the North Flank Before the May 18 Eruption—Geodetic Data, Peter W. Lipman, Donal R. Mullineaux (editors), The 1980 Eruptions of Mount St. Helens, Washington, U.S. Geological Survey, page 143,
These results contributed to assessments by USGS personnel in late April and early May that Mount St. Helens remained highly dangerous despite the seemingly mild small-scale phreatic eruptions that were then the most conspicuous activity.

Gradually, infiltrating waters gather in underground rivers or phreatic conduits well integrated in the karst drainage system, which leads the underground waters to the outlets.

1992, Angel Ginés, Joaquin Ginés, “Karst Phenomena and Biospeleological Environments”, in Ana Isabel Camacho, editor, The Natural History of Biospeleology, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, page 43:

“Phreatic” (or steam-blast) eruptions are driven by explosive expanding steam resulting from cold ground or surface water coming into contact with hot rock or magma. The distinguishing feature of phreatic explosions is that they only blast out fragments of preexisting solid rock from the volcanic conduit; no new magma is erupted.

2010, Jose Collazo, God Does Exist, No More Nuclear Testing and More, Xlibris, page 58:

(geology) Of or pertaining to ground water; (volcanology) involving explosively rapid heating of ground water by magma.

潜水蒸气喷发

Eruption / explosion caused by contact between groundwater and high-temperature material


fissility

Adopted as an equivalent to Latin series in the literary language based on the original meanings "row, bunch" and the sense related to chicken eggs listed below which can also be found in the other Finnic languages.

They are regarded as distal turbidites and are interbedded with bioclastic limestones and massive breccioid limestones containing blocks of coral colonies and intraclasts that are regarded as proximal turbidites.

étage

→ Czech: etáž

→ Dutch: etage

→ Esperanto: etaĝo

→ German: Etage

Norwegian:

→ Norwegian Bokmål: etasje

→ Romanian: etaj

→ Russian: этаж (etaž)

From Old French estage: ester + -age (see also stage), or possibly from a Vulgar Latin *stāticum, from Latin stāre.

Historiquement, les fossiles sont les principaux critères de définition des étages, mais cette méthode n’est pas applicable partout — et même lorsqu’elle l’est, elle est désormais souvent corrélée à d’autres indicateurs stratigraphiques : lits et bancs carbonatés ou phosphatés, susceptibilité magnétique, etc.

Historically, fossils were the principal criteria to define epochs, but this method isn't applicable for everything - and even when it is, it is from now on often correlated to other stratagraphic indicators: carbon and phosphorus beds, magnetic susceptibility, etc.

overburden

Before much progress was made with the inverts, however, the movement became accelerated, and it was decided to lighten the load over the tunnel by removing some of the soil, […].

Settari (2002) and Osorio et al. (1999) also suggest that the analysis domain should include overburdens, sideburdens and underburdens for better accommodation of the coupling effects of stress changes and flow.
