Bubble-bursting aerosols have a key role in mass and momentum transfer across interfaces. Previous studies report that the bursting of a millimetre-sized bare bubble at an aqueous surface produces jet drops with a typical size on the order of 100 μm.
Couthouy’s pamphlet (page 58) that Aurora Island is about two hundred feet in height; it consists of coral-rock, and seems to have been formed by the elevation of an atoll. It lies north-east of Tahiti, close without the line bounding the space coloured dark blue in the map appended...
What Is an Island Arc? Volcanic island arcs are major structures of ocean basin features. They are long, typically curved, volcanic island chains found on the basin margins. Their shape is an important feature. They are typically concave toward the bordering continent and convex toward the ocean...
FIGURE 4.4.Formation of an atoll (3) out of a fringing reef (1) and a barrier reef (2). The original island submerges due to tectonic processes. (afterDarwin, 1882)Copyright ©1882 Today still three more theories are discussed:
Microbially induced calcification is an ancient, community-driven mineralisation process that produces different types of microbialites. Symbiolites are photosynthesis-induced microbialites, formed by calcifying co-cultures of dinoflagellates from the fa
The Oscar Range, part of the Devonian Great Barrier Reef of the northern Canning Basin, was a large atoll (80 x 10 km) in which Frasnian and Famennian (Late Devonian) reefs grew around an emergent island of Precambrian metasedimentary ro... NF Hurley 被引量: 14发表: 1986年 Abstract: ...
carbonate atolls — but far too deep to support Darwin’s notion of a volcano sinking and leaving behind an atoll. (Today, residents of Bikini and Eniwetok are still living with the radioactivity left behind by US nuclear tests, and the deteriorating structure of the re...

Guadalupian-Lopingian (Middle-Upper Permian) boundary of mid-oceanic paleo-atoll limestone in Japan The Guadalupian-Lopingian (G-L) boundary sections of mid-oceanic origin were first examined in Japan by detail fusulinacean biostratigraphy. The Middle to Upper Permian reef-type limestone at Kam...
