Heat and Temperature, equivalent to mass × velocity. (1 J =1 kg m.s.), or volume × pressure (1 J = 1 m. × Pa = 1 N m). These conversions give us a first indication that thermal and mechanical energy are often hard to separate. Thermal energy may be converted into temperature using heat capacity and density which are par

Force and Rheology,rogens, provide a useful independent constraint on models based on field observations. Let us consider an example: A field geologist finds in a Precambrian shield folds and thrusts that he interprets to have formed as the consequence of crustal shortening. A detailed strain analysis shows that 80% s

Data on the metamorphic evolution are particularly important when interpreting ancient orogens where it is impossible to measure many other parameters directly (e.g. surface elevation, surface

geodynamical processesThe large scale structure of the earth is caused by geodynamic processes which are explained using energetic, kinematic and dynamic descriptions. While "geodynamic processes" are understood to include a large variety of processes and the term is used by earth scientists quite l
