A crevice is a fracture or fissure in rock. Crevice may also refer to: Crevice corrosion, occurs in spaces to which the access of corrosion-resistant fluid is limited; Crevice kelpfish (Gibbonsia montereyensis), a species of subtropical clinid; Crevice Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus poinsettii), a small, typically shy, phrynosomatid lizard
For example, in crevice corrosion, one has to consider the geometry of the crevice and the nature of the concentration process leading to the development of the differential local chemistry. The extreme and often unexpected local chemistry conditions inside the crevice need to be considered. Galvanic effects can play a role in crevice degradation.
Transverse crevasses, Chugach State Park, Alaska A crevasse is a deep crack that forms in a glacier or ice sheet. Crevasses form as a result of the movement and resulting stress associated with the shear stress generated when two semi-rigid pieces above a plastic substrate have different rates of movement.
Scientists are torn about why a massive crack in the earth suddenly appeared outside Nairobi, Kenya.
A fracture will sometimes form a deep fissure or crevice in the rock. Fractures are commonly caused by stress exceeding the rock strength, causing the rock to lose cohesion along its weakest plane. [1] Fractures can provide permeability for fluid movement, such as water or hydrocarbons.
Corrosion in the crevice between the tube and tube sheet (both made of type 316 stainless steel) of a heat exchanger in a seawater desalination plant Crevice corrosion is a localized form of corrosion occurring in confined spaces (crevices), to which the access of the working fluid from the environment is limited.
