  2. Spreading (debate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreading_(debate)

    Spreading (/ ˈ s p r iː d ɪ ŋ /; a blend of "speed" and "reading") [1] is the act of speaking extremely fast during a competitive debating event, with the intent that one's opponent will be penalized for failing to respond to all arguments raised.

  3. Seafloor spreading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seafloor_spreading

    Spreading rate is the rate at which an ocean basin widens due to seafloor spreading. (The rate at which new oceanic lithosphere is added to each tectonic plate on either side of a mid-ocean ridge is the spreading half-rate and is equal to half of the spreading rate). Spreading rates determine if the ridge is fast, intermediate, or slow.

  4. Spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum

    Moreover, for a given noise power spectral density (PSD), spread-spectrum systems require the same amount of energy per bit before spreading as narrowband systems and therefore the same amount of power if the bitrate before spreading is the same, but since the signal power is spread over a large bandwidth, the signal PSD is much lower — often ...

  5. Dewetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewetting

    The opposite process—spreading of a liquid on a substrate—is called wetting. The factor determining the spontaneous spreading and dewetting for a drop of liquid placed on a solid substrate with ambient gas, is the so-called spreading coefficient S: Surface tension diagram of a liquid droplet on a solid substrate.

  6. Mid-ocean ridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-ocean_ridge

    The spreading center or axis commonly connects to a transform fault oriented at right angles to the axis. The flanks of mid-ocean ridges are in many places marked by the inactive scars of transform faults called fracture zones. At faster spreading rates the axes often display overlapping spreading centers that lack connecting transform faults.

    Peanut butter being spread on white bread . This is a list of spreads. A spread is a food that is literally spread, generally with a knife, onto food items such as bread or crackers. Spreads are added to food to enhance the flavour or texture of the food, which may be considered bland without it.

  9. Entropy (energy dispersal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(energy_dispersal)

    Entropy is then depicted as a sophisticated kind of "before and after" yardstick — measuring how much energy is spread out over time as a result of a process such as heating a system, or how widely spread out the energy is after something happens in comparison with its previous state, in a process such as gas expansion or fluids mixing (at a ...
