    93% of women graduate from high school and 63% from college, but only 46.7% of college grads are employed. [12] Further, those employed women suffer from a 76% wage differential compared to like qualified men. [12] Japan has similar structural issues where half of the employed women in the country only work part-time. [12]

  3. Indenter tectonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indenter_tectonics

    Real-world examples differ by the rigidity of the indenter, the size and rheology of both the host and the indenter, and the extent of lateral confinement. [2] The best known active example is the system of strike-slip structures observed in the Eurasian Plate as it responds to collision with the Indian Plate, but similar events can be found all over the Earth.

  4. Strike-slip tectonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike-slip_tectonics

    Strike-slip tectonics or wrench tectonics is a type of tectonics that is dominated by lateral (horizontal) movements within the Earth's crust (and lithosphere).Where a zone of strike-slip tectonics forms the boundary between two tectonic plates, this is known as a transform or conservative plate boundary.

    Lateral movements or lateral flexions within equestrianism, have a specific meaning, used to refer to movements made by a horse where the animal is moving in a direction other than straight forward. They are used both in training and in competition, vary in difficulty, and are used in a progressive manner, according to the training and physical ...

    Pronation at the forearm is a rotational movement at the radioulnar joint, or of the foot at the subtalar and talocalcaneonavicular joints. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] For the forearm, when standing in the anatomical position , pronation will move the palm of the hand from an anterior-facing position to a posterior-facing position without an associated ...

  9. Tectonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectonics

    Extensional tectonics is associated with the stretching and thinning of the crust or the lithosphere.This type of tectonics is found at divergent plate boundaries, in continental rifts, during and after a period of continental collision caused by the lateral spreading of the thickened crust formed, at releasing bends in strike-slip faults, in back-arc basins, and on the continental end of ...
