  2. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

    Dip is defined as the angle of the fault relative to the surface of the earth, which indicates the plane on which slip will occur. Lastly, in any non-vertical fault, the block above the fault is called the hanging wall, while the blockbelow the fault is called the footwall. [4] Normal and reverse dip-slip faults with labeled hanging wall and ...

  3. Inversion (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    The likelihood of fault reactivation depends on the dip of the existing fault plane. Lower angle faults are more favourable as the resolved shear stress on the plane is higher. When a listric fault , which increases in dip upwards, reactivates the uppermost part of the fault may be too steep and new reverse faults typically develop in the ...

  4. Reverse pipetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_pipetting

    Reverse pipetting is a technique to dispense a measured quantity of liquid by means of air displacement pipette. The technique is mainly recommended for solutions with a high viscosity or a tendency to foam: [ 1 ] as it reduces the risk of splashing, foam or bubble formation.

  5. Focal mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_mechanism

    The moment tensor solution is displayed graphically using a so-called beachball diagram. The pattern of energy radiated during an earthquake with a single direction of motion on a single fault plane may be modelled as a double couple, which is described mathematically as a special case of a second order tensor (similar to those for stress and strain) known as the moment tensor.

  6. Dip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIP

    Dip (geology) (strike and dip), the orientation or attitude of a geologic feature; Dip slope, a slope parallel to the dip in geology; Dip circle, used to measure the angle between magnetic dip and the horizon; Magnetic dip, the angle made with the horizontal at any point by the Earth's magnetic field

  7. Dip (exercise) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dip_(exercise)

    Similar to a bar dip, the exerciser hand's grasps the rings, supporting their entire body weight. The unsteady nature of the rings adds additional challenge, although there are variations to make the exercise easier. [4] In the absence of equipment, a lighter variation of the dip can be performed called the "Bench Dip".

  8. Reverse genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_genetics

    Reverse genetics is a method in molecular genetics that is used to help understand the function(s) of a gene by analysing the phenotypic effects caused by genetically engineering specific nucleic acid sequences within the gene.

  9. Reverse electron flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_electron_flow

    Reverse electron flow (also known as reverse electron transport) is a mechanism in microbial metabolism. Chemolithotrophs using an electron donor with a higher redox potential than NAD(P) + /NAD(P)H , such as nitrite or sulfur compounds, must use energy to reduce NAD(P) + .
