In several cases, pieces of a single slab are split between London and Athens.
The newly formed slab is split continuously along the spreading centre, and the halves become integral parts of two rigid plates moving away from each other.
They also expressed disbelief that slabs would split so smoothly, or that one half of a slab containing fossils would have good preservation, but not the counterslab.
These, however, are common properties of Solnhofen fossils, because the dead animals would fall onto hardened surfaces, which would form a natural plane for the future slabs to split along, leaving the bulk of the fossil on one side and little on the other.
A split slab of focaccia held grilled vegetables and melted Brie, another lovely, satisfying combination.
The slabs of wax split apart in ways that resemble jagged faults and other shapes where new slabs of Earth's crust are born, according to work presented here yesterday at a meeting of the American Physical Society.
Eventually all traces of the crime will be wiped away as the hounded man leaves town, the murder weapon buried in the concrete slab of his split-level house.
This enables the computer to evaluate the slab for knots, splits, wane or other deformities.
Split local absorbing boundary (SLAB) conditions are obtained by the operator splitting method, then the original problem is reduced to an initial boundary value problem on a bounded computational domain, which can be solved by the finite difference method.
Phyllite has a marked fissility (a tendency to split into sheets or slabs) due to the parallel alignment of platy minerals; it may have a sheen on its surfaces due to tiny plates of micas.
