  2. Triple junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_junction

    At the triple junction each of the three boundaries will be one of three types – a ridge (R), trench (T) or transform fault (F) – and triple junctions can be described according to the types of plate margin that meet at them (e.g. fault–fault–trench, ridge–ridge–ridge, or abbreviated F-F-T, R-R-R).

  3. Earthworks (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworks_(engineering)

    Although soil is not very strong, it is cheap enough that huge quantities can be used, generating formidable structures. Examples of older earthwork fortifications include moats, sod walls, motte-and-bailey castles, and hill forts. Modern examples include trenches and berms.

  4. 3-manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-manifold

    A 3-torus in this sense is an example of a 3-dimensional compact manifold. It is also an example of a compact abelian Lie group. This follows from the fact that the unit circle is a compact abelian Lie group (when identified with the unit complex numbers with multiplication). Group multiplication on the torus is then defined by coordinate-wise ...

  5. Tunnel construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_construction

    Tunnel Construction. Tunnels are dug in types of materials varying from soft clay to hard rock. The method of tunnel construction depends on such factors as the ground conditions, the ground water conditions, the length and diameter of the tunnel drive, the depth of the tunnel, the logistics of supporting the tunnel excavation, the final use and shape of the tunnel and appropriate risk management.

  6. Forearc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forearc

    The forearc is the region between the trench and the volcanic arc. A forearc is a region in a subduction zone between an oceanic trench and the associated volcanic arc . Forearc regions are present along convergent margins and eponymously form 'in front of' the volcanic arcs that are characteristic of convergent plate margins.

  7. Banach–Tarski paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach–Tarski_paradox

    "Can a ball be decomposed into a finite number of point sets and reassembled into two balls identical to the original?" The Banach–Tarski paradox is a theorem in set-theoretic geometry, which states the following: Given a solid ball in three-dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the ball into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can then be put back together in a different ...

  8. Riemannian submersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_submersion

    An example of a Riemannian submersion arises when a Lie group acts isometrically, freely and properly on a Riemannian manifold (,). The projection π : M → N {\displaystyle \pi :M\rightarrow N} to the quotient space N = M / G {\displaystyle N=M/G} equipped with the quotient metric is a Riemannian submersion.

  9. Slab (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    [11] [12] Marianas Trench is an example of a deep slab, thereby creating the deepest trench in the world established by a steep slab angle. [13] Slab breakoff occurs during a collision between oceanic and continental lithosphere, [14] allowing for a slab tear; an example of slab breakoff occurs within the Himalayan subduction zone. [4]
