Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

These layers are "hidden" in the sense that their inputs and outputs are not observable in the final output of the network.

Record 2 2004-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
DEF

A petrologic name for the lower layer of the Earth's crust, composed of rocks that are rich in silica and magnesia.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique
DEF

Ensemble de roches assez basiques, riches en silice et magnésium, situées en dessous du sial.

CONT

Sous la croûte granitique sialitique, constituant l'armature des continents, existe une couche probablement continue, alimentant la plupart des volcans, et qu'on désigne sour le nom de sima (de silicium et de magnésium).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Tectónica
DEF

Capa de la corteza terrestre de naturaleza basáltica, situada debajo del sial.

CONT

El sima, voz formada con las primeras letras de sílice y magnesio, consta sobre todo de sílice, magnesia y, en menores proporciones, óxidos de hierro. Su densidad se halla comprendida entre 2,8 y 3,6, lo cual hace que sobre esa capa pueda flotar el sial, que es menos denso. El límite entre ambos es la discontinuidad de Conrad.
