  2. Denudation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denudation

    The work is primarily trying to determine a ratio between denudation and uplift so better estimates can be made on changes in the landscape. In 2016 and 2019, research that attempted to apply denudation rates to improve the stream power law so it can be used more effectively was conducted.

  3. Exhumation (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhumation_(geology)

    Exhumation by tectonic processes refers to any geological mechanism that brings rocks from deeper crustal levels to shallower crustal levels. While erosion or denudation is fundamental in eventually exposing these deeper rocks at the Earth's surface, the geological phenomenon that drive the rocks to shallower crust are still considered exhumation processes.

  4. Tectonic uplift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectonic_uplift

    Tectonic uplift results in denudation (processes that wear away the earth's surface) by raising buried rocks closer to the surface. This process can redistribute large loads from an elevated region to a topographically lower area as well – thus promoting an isostatic response in the region of denudation (which can cause local bedrock uplift).

  5. Lacuna (histology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacuna_(histology)

    In an ordinary microscopic section, viewed by transmitted light, they appear as fusiform opaque spots. Each lacuna is occupied during life by a branched cell, termed an osteocyte, bone-cell or bone-corpuscle. Lacunae are connected to one another by small canals called canaliculi. A lacuna never contains more than one osteocyte.

  6. Permineralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permineralization

    Most dinosaur bones are permineralized. Petrified wood: Permineralization is the first step in petrification. In petrification, the cellulose cell walls are completely replaced by minerals. Some examples of soft-bodied pyritization are Beecher's Trilobite Bed and the Hunsrück Slate

  7. Haversian canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversian_canal

    The Haversian canals surround blood vessels and nerve cells throughout bones and communicate with osteocytes (contained in spaces within the dense bone matrix called lacunae) through connections called canaliculi. This unique arrangement is conducive to mineral salt deposits and storage which gives bone tissue its strength.

  9. Wound healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

    Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
