Sentence examples for collisional from inspiring English sources

It has a sinuous outcrop caused by collisional indentation of one block into another.

Such excitation leads not only to collisional de-excitation of excited atoms but also to additional excitation of excited atoms.

The nebular temperature can be estimated directly from collisional lines alone by comparing emission lines from high-energy levels, populated by collisions, with lines from lower levels.

In addition, new collisional events led to the formation of Gondwana, a supercontinent composed of what would become Australia, Antarctica, India, Africa, and South America.

When excited atoms of the centres are in contact with other atoms, as is the case in condensed phases (liquids, solids, in gases of not-too-low pressure), part of the excitation energy will be transformed into heat by collisional deactivation (thermal quenching).

This collisional event is particularly important because welding the cratons together provided the core of Laurentia, the continent that was ultimately to become North America.

Rocks belonging to medium-pressure facies series generally follow P-T-t paths that are clockwise loops on a pressure-temperature diagram, reflecting rapid burial during a collisional event followed by heating and relatively rapid uplift.

The ratio of energy loss by nuclear radiative encounter to collisional energy loss (excitation and ionization) is given approximately by the incident electron energy (E) in units of 1,000,000 eV times atomic number (Z) divided by 800; i.e., EZ/800.

Our work indicates that Jupiter would have created just such a collisional cascade in the inner solar system," Laughlin said.

"Heel striking is painful when barefoot or in minimal shoes because it causes a large collisional force each time a foot lands on the ground.

For example, the abundance of continental-collisional events about 1.1 billion years ago is one of the principal lines of evidence suggesting the presence of a supercontinent that is given the name of Rodinia.
