This accounts for the deformation of the envelope shown in the illustration (page 77).
Envelopes must be so built structurally as to resist deformation at high speeds, without having any greatly increased weight.
The Reformation offers opposition to the Catholic deification of the church, but the Deformation goes the length of contesting the divinity of Christ (Antitrinitarians and Unitarians).
A very simple explanation of the reason why artificial deformation of the skull was ever adopted, is obtainable when the all-powerful dominion of a certain set of ideas is recognized.
Thus the erosion and deposition due to climatic variations presumably play their part in crustal deformation chiefly by producing crustal stresses, while the storms, as it were, strike sharp, sudden blows.
Most important of all, a satisfactory explanation of climatic changes and crustal deformation must take account of all the agencies which are now causing similar phenomena.
HEAD-FORM: All are brachycephalic, but it should be remembered that deformation of the head is practised by these people (vol.
Everything that he had said on the evening before was immeasurably enlarged, having suffered that peculiar deformation which everything has to suffer in its passage through the mind of a journalist.
This deformationwas particularly confined to male children.
Due allowance must be made for the artificial deformation of the cranium in the case of the Bororos.
Both illustrations at the bottom of the preceding page show the same receding form of the forehead, due to either artificialdeformation of the skull or to a common race characteristic.
Many instances have been recorded where substitution has effected a deformation in one particular direction, the crystals of homologous compounds often exhibiting the same angles between faces situated in certain zones.
Many facts (together with illustrations) bearing on Chinese deformationof the foot will be found in Ploss, Das Weib, vol.
All the barbarians and savages were guilty of folly, frivolity, and self-deformation in the service of fashion.
The cases given show that ideals of beauty are somehow formed, which call for a deformation of the human body.
The figures formed by the melted wax give a sort of diagram, showing the distribution of the heat and the character of the deformation in the bar.
In the second, and more usual kind of permanent deformation without fracture, the particles glide along certain planes into a new (twinned) position of equilibrium.
When strained beyond the limits of elasticity, crystalline matter may suffer permanent deformation in one or other of two ways, or may be broken along cleavage surfaces or with an irregular fracture.
The vibratory movements of seismism probably result from both deformation and vulcanism under certain conditions.
The second great category of geologic processes comprehends the erosion and deposition inaugurated by the initial deformation of the terrestrial surface.
The shuffling and the deformation of the earth's surface which attended the laying down of the coal-beds is not anywhere evident.
He says that hitherto, in considering the deformation of solids under strain, two distinct periods, relative to their mechanical properties, have alone been recognized.
Attempts have been made to explain magnetic deformation by various theories of magnetic stress,[34] notably that elaborated by G.
Thomson, who, from the results of Bidwell's observations on the magnetic deformation of cobalt, was led to expect that that metal would exhibit a reversal opposite in character to the effect observed in iron.
When the successive images do not differ from each other too much, we consider them all as the waxing and waning of a single mean image, or as the deformation of this image in different directions.
That is why, in organisms unprovided with a nervous system, it varies according to the power of locomotion and of deformation of which the organism disposes.
Then came the deformation of the baselevelled plain, the relatively recent elevation and gentle tilting that have permitted the streams to carve it into a pastplain; and with this, the dislocation along the fall-line.
Ambrose's brook therefore most likely is not a survivor from the previous cycle, but is a new stream consequent on the slight deformation by which the latest cycle here considered was ushered in.
Gümbel explained the course of the Altmühl, a branch of the Danube which crosses the Frankish Jura in northwestern Bavaria, by supposing its course was defined before and maintained during the deformation of the range.
They appear to be consequent on the early stages of the deformation but antecedent to its later growth, and for this kind of a stream I have no satisfactory name to suggest at present.
In nearly all cases of failure there is an accompanying localised destructive stress, either in rivets or elsewhere, with crippling or deformation of some essential part.
This is not, of course, a deformation in the sense in which the word has previously been used, but it is desirable to bear the fact in mind as a possible cause of defective camber in dealing with questions of deformation.
After the initial location of the folds along these lines, compression and deformation continued.
The formation, though developed in the Piedmont plain, bears upon the history of the Catoctin Belt by throwing light on the periods of degradation, deposition, igneous injection, and deformation that have involved them both.
Along Catoctin Mountain, however, both chemical and mechanical deformation have taken place, so that the original rock structure is completely merged into pronounced schistosity.
From this fact, taken in connection with the folding of the schistose planes at Point of Rocks, it would appear that the deformationwas not a single continuous effort.
The conditions favorable for trapping are overlying impervious beds bowed into anticlines, or other structural irregularities, due either to secondary deformation or to original deposition, which may arrest the oil in its upward course.
Subsequent deformation by earth forces may develop further faults and folds, with the result that the convolutions of a coal bed may be very complex.
In the deformation of the enclosing rocks, the salt beds will flow somewhat like viscous liquids, and will become thinned on the limbs of the folds and correspondingly thickened on the crests and troughs.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "deformation" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
