Cross-cutting relationships can be used to determine the relative ages of rock strata and other structures. Explanations: A – folded rock strata cut by a thrust fault; B – large intrusion (cutting through A); C – erosional angular unconformity (cutting off A & B) on which rock strata were deposited; D – volcanic dike (cutting through A, B & C); E – even younger rock strata (overlying ...
The principle of cross-cutting relationships pertains to the formation of faults and the age of the sequences through which they cut. Faults are younger than the rocks they cut; accordingly, if a fault is found that penetrates some formations but not those on top of it, then the formations that were cut are older than the fault, and the ones ...
The maximum number of pieces from consecutive cuts are the numbers in the Lazy Caterer's Sequence. When a circle is cut n times to produce the maximum number of pieces, represented as p = f (n), the n th cut must be considered; the number of pieces before the last cut is f (n − 1), while the number of pieces added by the last cut is n.
Cross-cutting is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time, and often in the same place. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions but this is not always the case. Cross-cutting can also be used for ...
The Fibonacci word is an example of a Sturmian word.The start of the cutting sequence shown here illustrates the start of the word 0100101001. In digital geometry, a cutting sequence is a sequence of symbols whose elements correspond to the individual grid lines crossed ("cut") as a curve crosses a square grid.
Cutting across the anti-diagonal and looking at only the edges gives full binary trees. The following figure illustrates the case n = 4 : C n is the number of ways to form a "mountain range" with n upstrokes and n downstrokes that all stay above a horizontal line.
[12] [13] [clarification needed] After calculating the cross-correlation between the two signals, the maximum (or minimum if the signals are negatively correlated) of the cross-correlation function indicates the point in time where the signals are best aligned; i.e., the time delay between the two signals is determined by the argument of the ...
A riffle shuffle permutation of a sequence of elements is obtained by partitioning the elements into two contiguous subsequences, and then arbitrarily interleaving the two subsequences. For instance, this describes many common ways of shuffling a deck of playing cards, by cutting the deck into two piles of cards that are then riffled together.
