Sentences with phrase «rock mass»

Christ said this at Caesarea Philippi, the site of a large rock mass.

By: Donald Makhafola 6th April 2018 Advancing and applying smart technology is improving miners» ability to delineate geological structures more accurately, which is important because a key aspect that affects safety in the sector is the variability of rock mass characteristics over time and space, says consulting engineers and... →

In a new study led by the University of Sussex, geoscientists from the British Geological Survey and the Technical University of Munich reveal that using a micro-seismic technique, which detects tiny earthquakes which cause cracks in the rock, alongside modern electrical imaging technology, which measures rock mass, would provide scientists with much earlier warnings of potential rock falls.

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as «fracking,» is used to break the subsurface rock mass into pieces and is done by injecting high - pressure fluid.

Evaluating the seismic effects of fracking before drilling is particularly important as many Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) or hydrocarbon extraction operations occur in tight rock masses and in close vicinity to fault zones.

Another kind of dome is shaped primarily by weathering and erosion, which cause curved sheets of rock to separate from a large rock mass.

A suitable disposal site for mined geologic waste must include the following characteristics: the rock mass's previous geologic history should indicate probable stability for the next 10,000 years or more; it should be relatively isolated from circulating ground water; it must be capable of containing waste without losing its desirable properties; and it must be amenable to technical analysis.

What even I could see in his mind and in my brother's, a kind of quiet ruthlessness and candor in search of truth, stood up well alongside the rock masses of the continental divide.

It can not tell the difference between ice mass and rock mass.

The tough terrain means Global Positioning Systems can not be used and Wireless Sensor Networks are less reliable due to interference from the rock mass and lack of access points.

When hydraulic fracturing or «fracking» to access unconventional oil and gas reserves was a hot topic in the fossil fuel industry, Ryerson was tapped to lead a team to develop GEOS — a dynamic computational rock mechanics and hydrologic tool — that can model facture propagation, resulting seismic signals and pressure - driven fluid flow through a rock mass.

The Dead are back with another half dozen tracks for the rocking masses.

The shelter afforded these structures by the rock masses echoes the Christian theme of pure faith and surrender to divine protection expressed in the eighteenth - century English hymn «Rock of Ages,» from which the painting takes its title.
