    Striation (geology), a striation as a result of a geological fault; Striation Valley, in Antarctica; In hyperbolic geometry, a striation is a reflection across two ...

  3. Striated muscle tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_muscle_tissue

    Striated muscle tissue is a muscle tissue that features repeating functional units called sarcomeres.The presence of sarcomeres manifests as a series of bands visible along the muscle fibers, which is responsible for the striated appearance observed in microscopic images of this tissue.

  4. Glacial striation - Wikipedia

    The following affect the rate of abrasion: [1] The amount of rock debris embedded in the basal surface of the ice. If there is no rock in the basal surface of the ice there will be no abrasion, but if there is too much rock in the basal surface of the ice the motion of the glacier will be affected, thus affecting abrasion rates.

  5. Striation (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    In geology, a striation is a groove, created by a geological process, on the surface of a rock or a mineral. In structural geology , striations are linear furrows, or linear marks, generated from fault movement.

  6. Glacial landform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_landform

    Erosional landforms. As the glaciers expand, due to their accumulating weight of snow and ice they crush, abrade, and scour surfaces such as rocks and bedrock.The resulting erosional landforms include striations, cirques, glacial horns, arêtes, trim lines, U-shaped valleys, roches moutonnées, overdeepenings and hanging valleys.

  7. Plucking (glaciation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plucking_(glaciation)

    Glacial plucking is the main mechanism of other small scale mechanical glacial erosion such as striation, abrasion and glacial polishing.The heavier the sediment load, the more extreme the erosion of the downhill landscape.

  8. Till - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till

    Till is a form of glacial drift, which is rock material transported by a glacier and deposited directly from the ice or from running water emerging from the ice. [1] It is distinguished from other forms of drift in that it is deposited directly by glaciers without being reworked by meltwater.

  9. Forensic firearm examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_firearm_examination

    Striation images can also be uploaded to national databases. Furthermore, the markings can be compared to other images in an attempt to link one weapon to multiple crime scenes. Like all forensic specialties, forensic firearm examiners are subject to being called to testify in court as expert witnesses. However, the reliability of some ...
