  2. Cleavage (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(geology)

    For example, when mixed sandstone and mudstone sequences are folded during very-low to low grade metamorphism, cleavage forms parallel to the fold axial plane, particularly in the clay-rich parts of the sequence. In folded alternations of sandstone and mudstone the cleavage has a fan-like arrangement, divergent in the mudstone layers and ...

  3. Pencil cleavage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil_cleavage

    Pencil cleavage in geology refers to a cleavage in rock such that long, slender, pencil-shaped fragments of rock are created by fracturing during the weathering of a sedimentary rock. Pencil cleavage is usually associated with rock units that contain high angle of intersection between cleavages, such as a diagenetic cleavage and a later ...

  4. Crenulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crenulation

    In a geological context, crenulation or crenulation cleavage is a fabric formed in metamorphic rocks such as phyllite, schist and some gneiss by two or more stress directions causing the formation of the superimposed foliations.

  5. Slate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate

    For example, roof slate referred to shale above a coal seam, and draw slate referred to shale that fell from the mine roof as the coal was removed. [ 16 ] The British Geological Survey recommends that the term "slate" be used in scientific writings only when very little else is known about the rock that would allow a more definite classification.

  6. Cleavage (crystal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(crystal)

    Prismatic cleavage occurs when there are two cleavage planes in a crystal (but not three). Spodumene is an example where the planes meet at a 90 degree angles. Hornblende is an example where the planes intersect at 56° and 124°. Cubic cleavage occurs when there are three cleavage planes intersecting at 90 degrees.

  7. The Overdue, Under-Told Story Of The Clitoris

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/projects/cliteracy/intro

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  8. Structural geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_geology

    Generally the axial plane foliation or cleavage of a fold is created during folding, and the number convention should match. For example, an F 2 fold should have an S 2 axial foliation. Deformations are numbered according to their order of formation with the letter D denoting a deformation event. For example, D 1, D 2, D 3. Folds and foliations ...
