At particular temperature and pressure, state of moist air whose mixing ratio is such that the moist air can co-exist in neutral equilibrium with an associated condensed phase (liquid or solid) at the same temperature and pressure, the surface of separation being plane. 2, record 4, English, - saturation
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Usage has provided two closely related but importantly different conceptions of the term saturation(a) One is the condition in which the vapor pressure exerted by water vapor is equal to the saturation vapor pressure at the prevailing temperature. This definition implies the presence of a plane surface of pure liquid water or ice, and thus is a condition dependent upon the temperature only, irrespective of actual environment. Since, in nature, such a "plane surface of pure water" is rarely found and the physico-chemical environment of water vapor is anything but constant, this strict concept of saturation can be very misleading with regard to actual condensation processes; but the conservative base which this definition supplies is required as a comparison standard(as for relative humidity measurements). More specific terminology is often advisedly used, like "saturation with respect to water" or "saturation with respect to ice".(b) The other is the condition in which the vapor pressure of water vapor is equal to the equilibrium vapor pressure under the existing environmental conditions(temperature; and shape, size and composition of adjacent matter)... It should be clear that saturation should always be defined "with respect to" an intended environment, either standard(as in a above) or actual. 3, record 4, English, - saturation

If the growth rate for plagioclase were much greater, this mineral could crystallize almost completely before the pyroxene substantially developed. Such a phenomenon could not develop under equilibrium conditions where cotectic(simultaneous) crystallization of both phases would occur at a very early stage.... The observation that [the ophitic] texture is normally absent in coarser gabbros of the same composition that have cooled very slowly supports this hypothesis, as does the fact that it is pyroxene rather than plagioclase that is generally observed to have separated prior to cotectic precipitation during fractional crystallization of differentiated tholeiitic sills... 3, record 11, English, - cotectic
