This fissuringof the glass-mass in its various stages may be traced in many of the specimens of Venetian, Netherlandish, and English glass at South Kensington.
I have spoken in the introductory chapter of certain rare cases where a minute fissuring has been set up in the substance of the glass.
While moving on, its surface was in general a mass of solid rock; and its mode of advancing, as is usual with lava streams, was by the occasional fissuring of the solid walls.
In all three, however, the disturbances produced were superficial; no structural change, no fissuring that did not die out rapidly downwards, was in any place perceptible.
A third method depends on the fissuringof walls, supposing that we know the force per unit surface which, when suddenly applied, is just sufficient to produce fracture.
This experience applies in a much less degree to deposits originating from impregnation along lines of fissuringand not at all to replacements.
Replacement or impregnation deposits on the lines of fissuring or otherwise.
From a structural view, the depth of fissuring is likely to be more or less in proportion to its length and breadth and therefore the volume of vein filling with depth is likely to be proportional to length and width of the fissure.
Various gases also, rendered liquid by pressure at great depths, may aid in causing volcanic outbursts and in fissuring and convulsing the rocks during earthquakes.
As a rule the nearer to the base, the greater was the amount of fissuring observed.
In spite of a considerable amount of violence which has caused the escape of the core, the fissuring of the mantle is comparatively slight.
In all the Mauser specimens the longitudinal direction of the fissuring of the mantle is striking.
I think the variation in appearance is characteristic, the fissuring of the mantle being much less extreme, while the leaden core is normal at its base in consequence of the support afforded by the more tenacious cupro-nickel mantle.
The stoppage of the fissuring short of the epiphysis is characteristic.
In several of these cases fragments of lead were either found on the fractured surface of the bone or within the cranial cavity, showing that the bullets had undergone fissuring of the mantle, or had actually broken up on impact.
The only deformed Lee-Metford bullets that I saw removed from the body were of the 'slipper' variety, exactly corresponding to the similarly altered Mausers, and with no fissuring of the mantle.
Again, when the aperture of entry was near the parts of the vertex where sudden bends take place, considerable fissuring of the same nature as that seen in the superficial tracks (fig.
The amount of fissuring at the aperture of entry was often not so extensive as I had been led to expect.
The general tendency of longitudinal fissuring when it occurred to stop short of the articular extremities of the bones.
Perforation of lower third of Tibia, showing lifting and fissuring of the compact roof of the tunnel.
Now and again these monsters would get caught in some vast fissuring of the ground, but not often.
It is more or less persistent, the tendency to fissuring varying considerably according to the state of the weather, often disappearing spontaneously in the summer months.
This tendency is usually a part of an erythematous or squamous eczema, the fissuring constituting the most conspicuous and troublesome symptom.
The conspicuous symptom is a marked tendency to fissuring or cracking of the skin (eczema fissum; eczema rimosum).
The missile was a rifle bullet with the reduced velocity of long range, passing transversely along the articulations of the elbow, fragmenting the radius and ulna and fissuring the humerus through both condyles.
The course of the bullet was transverse, from without inward, through the lower end of the bone, with a piercing effect and a fissuring of the upper fragment.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "fissuring" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
