It has been warped and cut up by faults, some of these deformations being probably synchronous with the formation of the Pampean deposits which have concealed them as they have been produced.
From this point onward the deformations are less rapid.
We have studied so many congenital malformations and pathological deformations that a synthetic statement of their significance becomes necessary.
In many localities this relation is proved by the phenomena of contact; but for the most part the deformations which the rocks have since suffered again and again have been sufficient to destroy such evidence if it ever existed.
The vast deformations of the Tertiary were accompanied on a corresponding scale by outpourings of lava, the outburst of volcanoes, and the intrusion of molten masses within the crust.
However slowly these deformations were effected they were no doubt accompanied by world-shaking earthquakes, and it is known that volcanic eruptions took place on a magnificent scale.
It is largely by means of unconformities that we read the history of mountain making and other deformations and movements of the crust.
The Ciboneys, to judge from the skulls found in Cuba and Jamaica, were hyper-brachycephalic in consequence of deformations (Haddon).
Can the normal sequence of changes in the regular course of river development, aided by the post-Permian deformations and elevations, evolve the existing rivers out of the ancient ones?
Some of his deformations resulted from extraneous line forces which, when coming in contact with an object's contour, made it lean to the right or left, or in some other way take on an abnormal appearance as of convexity or concavity.
The deformations in Gauguin came as a result of an outline which after the first drawing was left unchanged for the sake of its naif effect.
But in Goya and Matisse the deformations are the result of a highly developed plastic sense which glories in new and unusual forms.
Whatever the deformation of the originally straight boundary of the axial section may be, it can be resolved by Fourier's theorem into deformations of the harmonic type.
Deformations due to settlement may be very considerable.
The effect of loads quickly applied may here be considered in connection with elastic deformations of girders of the same span, but different depths.
Instances of deformations due to the creeping of some part of the structure away from its work, are within the author's knowledge, rare; except in the case of the ends of main girders in skew bridges, already referred to.
Those features are accentuated and exaggerated by the deformationswhich are practiced.
Deformations of the skull may not be harmful; they are not useful.
The kordax was an ancient dance of the old comedy, with indecent gestures, in which the human figure was caricatured according to all the deformations which it underwent by vice or sensuality.
If the wave surfaces of light had undergone the same deformations as the material bodies we should never have perceived the Lorentz-Fitzgerald deformation.
Bach, the law which connects the elastic deformations with the efforts would be an exponential one.
If the efforts are weak, the deformations produced are also very weak and disappear when the effort ceases.
Certain occasional deformations which are produced and disappear slowly may be considered as intermediate between elastic and permanent deformations.
If the efforts exceed a certain value, a part only of thesedeformations disappear, and a part are permanent.
The phenomena are looked upon as due to mechanical deformations or to movements governed by certain forces.
The deformations produced in solid bodies by increasing efforts arrange themselves in two distinct periods.
Perhaps the slight alterations of the altitude of the pole which are at present being studied are connected with the continual slight deformations of the central ellipsoid occasioned by seismical happenings.
Footnote 95: Similarly many external forces do not act at once on all parts of the earth, and the internal forces which produce deformations act at first immediately only upon limited parts.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "deformations" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
