Sentence examples for material sink from inspiring English sources

Thus, fracture can be interpreted as the local material sink.

However, when the failure starts localizing into cracks the diffusive material sink activates via the mass balance equation and it provides the regularization of numerical simulations.

The molten body would have undergone differentiation, the denser material sinking into a core region and the more-volatile materials rising to the surface.

According to this principle, the level of the Earth's crust is determined by its density; lighter material rises, forming continents, mountains, and plateaus, and heavier material sinks, forming basins and ocean floors.

If organic material sinks quickly, the carbon reaches the seabed before dissolving, and under the right conditions it can be locked up long-term in the deep marine realm.

Near the continental masses some of the oceanic material sinks into the mantle in zones of subduction, which are associated with oceanic troughs, deep-focus earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Thus, material sinks in the vicinity of the crack.

By using a pit pattern, we intentionally create material sinks towards which the Ge atoms in the topmost unstable monolayer are driven by surface diffusion (MG, unpublished work).

Since the pits act as material sinks, as can be seen for instance by the thicker WL, material diffuses from the planar area towards and into the patterned field.

To achieve such islands organization, it is not only important to carefully adjust the amount of deposited material (metastable wetting layer thickness[15, 17 19]), but also the growth rate should be low enough (0.05 Å/s in this case) so that material can diffuse to the material sinks at the rims of the pits.

This period was characterized by the continuous accumulation of hypolimnetic sulfide as the result of microbial sulfate reduction in the water column and in the sediment that is supported by the influx of organic material sinking from the photic zone [54].
