  2. Laccolith - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laccolith

    A laccolith is a body of intrusive rock with a dome-shaped upper surface and a level base, fed by a conduit from below. A laccolith forms when magma (molten rock) rising through the Earth's crust begins to spread out horizontally, prying apart the host rock strata. The pressure of the magma is high enough that the overlying strata are forced ...

  3. Landing Craft Air Cushion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_Craft_Air_Cushion

    40+ knots (46+ mph; 74 km/h) with full load, 70+ knots maximum speed. The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a class of air-cushioned landing craft (hovercraft) used by the United States Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). They transport weapons systems, equipment, cargo and personnel from ship to shore and across the beach.

Puller (T-ESB-3), and (T-MLP-3/T-AFSB-1) prior to that) [17] [18] is the first purpose-built expeditionary mobile base vessel (previously classified as a mobile landing platform, and then as an afloat forward staging base) for the United States Navy, and the second ship to be named in honor of Chesty Puller.

  5. Mantle plume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_plume

    A superplume generated by cooling processes in the mantle (LVZ = low-velocity zone) [1] A mantle plume is a proposed mechanism of convection within the Earth's mantle, hypothesized to explain anomalous volcanism. [2] Because the plume head partially melts on reaching shallow depths, a plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots ...

  6. Pusher configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pusher_configuration

    The Supermarine Walrus pusher flying boat is a typical flying boat, with the engine mounted high to avoid spray; however, throttle changes then induce pitch changes. Due to the generally-high thrust line to ensure ground clearance, a low-wing pusher layout may suffer power-change-induced pitch changes, also known as pitch/power coupling.

  7. Magma chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_chamber

    Magma chamber. A magma chamber is a large pool of liquid rock beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock, or magma, in such a chamber is less dense than the surrounding country rock, which produces buoyant forces on the magma that tend to drive it upwards. [1] If the magma finds a path to the surface, then the result will be a volcanic ...
