91Mantle (geology) — For other uses, see Mantle (disambiguation). Earth cutaway from core to exosphere. The mantle is a part of a terrestrial planet or other rocky body large enough to have differentiation by density. The interior of the Earth, similar to the other… …
92Universality (dynamical systems) — In statistical mechanics, universality is the observation that there are properties for a large class of systems that are independent of the dynamical details of the system. Systems that display universality tend to be chaotic and often have a… …
93Thermal power station — Republika Power Plant, a thermal power station in Pernik, Bulgaria …
94Crustal recycling — Understanding predictions of mantle dynamics helps geoscientists predict where subducted crust will end up. Crustal recycling is a tectonic process by which surface material from the lithosphere is recycled into the mantle during subduction. The… …

96Superfluid film — Superfluidity and superconductivity are of inherent interest because they are macroscopic manifestations of quantum mechanics. There is a considerable amount of interest, both theoretical and practical, in these quantum phase transitions. There… …
97gas — gasless, adj. /gas/, n., pl. gases, v., gassed, gassing. n. 1. Physics. a substance possessing perfect molecular mobility and the property of indefinite expansion, as opposed to a solid or liquid. 2. any such fluid or mixture of fluids. 3. any… …
98Melting — Ice melting Molten redirects here. For the Japanese company, see Molten Corporation; or see Molton or Moulton. Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase change of a substance from a solid to a liquid. The internal energy …
99Autocatalytic reaction — Autocatalytic reactions are chemical reactions in which at least one of the products is also a reactant. The rate equations for autocatalytic reactions are fundamentally nonlinear. This nonlinearity can lead to the spontaneous generation of order …
100Saturn — /sat euhrn/, n. 1. an ancient Roman god of agriculture, the consort of Ops, believed to have ruled the earth during an age of happiness and virtue, identified with the Greek god Cronus. 2. Astron. the planet sixth in order from the sun, having an …
