2. Gel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel

   A gel is a semi-solid that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. [1] [2] Gels are defined as a substantially dilute cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in the steady state, although the liquid phase may still diffuse through this system. [3] IUPAC definition for a gel. Gels are mostly liquid by mass, yet ...

3. Thematic map - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thematic_map

   A very innovative thematic map from the 19th century. Isarithmic map of minimum temperature used as plant hardiness zones. A thematic map is a type of map that portrays the geographic pattern of a particular subject matter (theme) in a geographic area. This usually involves the use of map symbols to visualize selected properties of geographic ...

4. Density (computer storage) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_(computer_storage)

   Density is a measure of the quantity of information bits that can be stored on a given length ( linear density) of track, area of the surface ( areal density ), or in a given volume ( volumetric density) of a computer storage medium. Generally, higher density is more desirable, for it allows more data to be stored in the same physical space.

5. Snow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow

   Snow comprises individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphere —usually within clouds—and then fall, accumulating on the ground where they undergo further changes. [2] It consists of frozen crystalline water throughout its life cycle, starting when, under suitable conditions, the ice crystals form in the atmosphere ...

7. Network science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_science

   Network science is an academic field which studies complex networks such as telecommunication networks, computer networks, biological networks, cognitive and semantic networks, and social networks, considering distinct elements or actors represented by nodes (or vertices) and the connections between the elements or actors as links (or edges ).

8. Mantle (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(geology)

   Mantle (geology) A mantle is a layer inside a planetary body bounded below by a core and above by a crust. Mantles are made of rock or ices, and are generally the largest and most massive layer of the planetary body. Mantles are characteristic of planetary bodies that have undergone differentiation by density. All terrestrial planets (including ...

9. Decantation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decantation

   Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. [1] The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off, leaving denser liquid or the solid behind.
