CRUMPLED [19 records]

Record 1 2012-08-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Ear
DEF

A deformity of the ear due to a flattened helix, prominent crura, and partial obliteration of the concha, characteristic of congenital contractural arachnodactyly.

OBS

Stahl ear is an abnormal and distinctive extra fold or crus of the anthelix that extends from the superior portion of the anthelix to the upper posterior aspect of the corner of the helix. This extra fold produces a "crumpled" ear appearance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Oreille
DEF

Malformation du pavillon de l'oreille.

CONT

D'autres anomalies malformatives peuvent s'ajouter à l'oreille proéminente : macro- ou microtie, hélix non ourlé, tubercule de Darwin (plus fréquent chez l'homme), oreille de Stahl (anomalie à transmission dominante, qui correspond davantage à un froissement du pavillon qu'à une anomalie de l'anthélix) [...]

Record 2 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geology
DEF

... the wavy, extremely disorganized, and markedly and intricately crumpled, twisted, or folded laminae that are confined within a single, relatively thin, well-defined, undeformed layer, that die out both upward and downward, and that are overlain and underlain by parallel undisturbed layers.

Key term(s)
  • curled bedding

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géologie
DEF

Structure ondulée ou contournée qui s'amincit progressivement vers le haut ou le bas dans un ensemble sédimentaire.

CONT

De nombreux sédiments fins et stratifiés présentent des replis et divers types de déformations de la stratification interne. Les niveaux alternativement sombres et clairs, grossiers ou plus fins mettent en évidence une microtectonique qui dessine des figures de plis dysharmoniques depuis les plus simples jusqu'aux plus compliqués: plis, failles, chevauchements. C'est cet ensemble de figures que l'on appelle «contournements» et couches contournées.

Key term(s)
  • convolution
  • lamina en volute
  • lamine en volute
  • contournement
  • couche contournée

Record 3 2011-11-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
  • Plate Tectonics
DEF

The formation of mountains by the folding and deformation of the Earth’s crust.

CONT

In the framework of plate tectonics, orogeny occurs primarily at the boundaries of colliding plates, where marginal sedimentary deposits are crumpled and magmatism and volcanism are initiated.

OBS

Response to such engagement results in the formation of long tracts of highly deformed rock called orogens or orogenic belts.

OBS

orogeny: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géomorphologie et géomorphogénie
  • Tectonique des plaques
DEF

Ensemble des processus menant à la formation des montagnes comme le plissement, le chevauchement et la formation de failles dans les couches de roche.

OBS

orogenèse; orogénie : termes en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Geomorfología y geomorfogénesis
  • Tectónica de placas
DEF

Generación de relieve, en forma de montañas, que sucede al plegamiento orogénico una vez que, terminado éste, comienza la fase de recuperación del equilibrio isostático.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vulcanology and Seismology
  • Tectonics
  • Oceanography
CONT

The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of Fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes.

CONT

The circumpacific and the Indonesian belts of volcanoes correspond with zones of active orogeny, in which the earth's crust has been crumpled and heaved up into mountains during recent geologic time.... The continental United States is commonly thought of as immune from volcanic activity, but actually the Cascade Range in the northwestern part of the country is part of the circumpacific "ring of fire" and contains many recently extinct volcanoes and several that should be considered active.

Key term(s)
  • circum-Pacific belt of volcanoes
  • circum-Pacific ring of fire
  • circumpacific volcano belt

French

Domaine(s)
  • Volcanologie et sismologie
  • Tectonique
  • Océanographie
CONT

La ceinture de feu du Pacifique est un alignement de volcans qui borde l'océan Pacifique sur la majorité de son pourtour, soit environ 40 000 kilomètres. Cet alignement de volcans coïncide avec un ensemble de limites de plaques tectoniques et de failles. Ces limites sont également marquées par les principales fosses océaniques de la planète. La ceinture de feu compte 452 volcans, soit 75 % des volcans émergés actifs ou éteints de la planète. Cette concentration s'explique par la subduction de plaques océaniques […]

CONT

Un volcanisme intense, très explosif, souligne les zones de tension liées aux sillons océaniques et aux arcs orogéniques («ceinture de feu» du Pacifique, Indonésie, Antilles, etc.).

CONT

Près de 75 % des volcans actifs de la planète se trouvent sur le pourtour du plus grand océan du globe, formant ce qu’on appelle le cercle (ou la ceinture) de feu du Pacifique.

CONT

An attractor's "strangeness" involves nonstandard topological properties, with nonstandard fractal properties coming along as an "overhead". A closed curve without double points is not "strange" in this sense, however crumpled it may be; hence, many fractal attractors I examined are not strange.

Schématiquement, l'attracteur simple, c'est le déterminisme, généralement modélisable par des équations différentielles, il est illustré par la dynamique de la gravitation universelle de Newton. L'attracteur fractal (ou étrange) c'est le "chaos fractal", illustré par les phénomènes de la thermodynamique loin de l'équilibre.
