Sentence examples for plume material from inspiring English sources

"We're going to see the impact," Mr. Andrews said, "and then fly through the plume while looking into the crater and also looking sideways 90 degrees out into space to see the plume material against the darkness".

The associated viscosity increase acts against lateral flow and restricts plume material to its point of entry into an actively spreading rift.

Lithospheric architecture, the timing of continental rifting and viscosity changes due to melting of the plume material are therefore critical parameters for understanding the distribution of magmatism.

We further suggest that thick Archaean lithosphere blocked direct flow of plume material into the magma-starved southwest Greenland margin while the plume was free to flow into the central west and east Greenland margins.

The extent of initial plume-related volcanism inferred from these observations is explained by a model of lateral flow of plume material that is guided by relief at the base of the lithosphere.

Recent diffraction tomography and high-resolution local tomography indicate a lower-mantle mantle plume, and a pond of plume material is evidenced by a large low-velocity zone in the upper mantle.

"This technology will also be extremely useful to search for amino acids and other potential chemical biosignatures in samples returned from Mars and eventually plume materials from the outer planet icy moons Enceladus and Europa," said Goddard astrobiologist Daniel Glavin, who was co-author on the research.

Analysis of the plume of material thrown up by the Centaur impact showed that the lunar soil at the bottom of Cabeus was 5.6 percent water ice.

This changed last month, when NASA shot a satellite into a permanently shadowed region on the Moon's surface, throwing a plume of material containing water up out of the shadow.

Both share the same basic heritage of a directed energy array that heats the surface of the target to the point of high surface vapor pressure that causes significant mass ejection thus forming an ejection plume of material from the target that acts as a rocket to deflect the object.

Imaging during and after the landing of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover in 2012 provides a means to examine two transitory phenomena for the first time: the settling of the plume of material raised by the powered terminal descent, and the possible dispersal of 140 kg of hydrazine into the atmosphere as fine-grained solid carbazic acid.
