CONT

In ice dynamics "dilation" is a term associated with an opening process, where crust on either side us moved apart and new surface is created between them. Dilational areas, where cracks open wide – are called dilational "bands. "These features are a common occurrence on the icy surface of Europa.

Also, frictional shearing and heating has likely contributed to the construction of edifices along crack margins(i. e. ridges). If Europa has not recently expanded, crustal convergence(although elusive in Galileo images) is required to balance out new surface material created at spreading bands and may be accommodated locally along ridges or convergence bands.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Geochemistry
CONT

The method used for qualitative detection of drugs was based on thin layer chromatography technique. In this technique compounds are separated from one another due to their relative affinities for a polar solid stationary phase (hydrated silicate) and mobile non-polar liquid phase (ethyl acetate and dichloromethane). Depending on their affinities, different compounds adsorb to the hydrated silicate at different positions as the non-polar solvent migrates up the stationary hydrated silicate.

CONT

Thaumasite is stable at ambient P-T conditions and contains a fully hydrated silicate octahedron.

CONT

The bulk density of Europa, as derived from Voyager data, indicated a bulk composition similar to the Moon or Mars but with the addition of 5 to 10% water. The accepted view was that this water is distributed as a layer of ice ~150 km thick at the surface. Debate has continued as to whether this layer is partly liquid. Ransford was the first to suggest that this model may be too simplistic and proposed that there may also be a hydrated silicate layer.

[...] nous avons étudié le silicate hydraté qui se constitue à l'interface solide-liquide lors de l'attaque d'une pâte de ciment par l'eau [...]. La pâte de ciment étant un matériau poreux constitué d'hydrates en équilibre chimique avec une solution interstitielle, le silicate hydraté en contact avec la solution agressive résulte de dissolutions et reprécipitations successives induites par les gradients de diffusion d'espèces ioniques, qui modifient les équilibres chimiques dans la solution interstitielle entre la surface attaquée du matériau et le cœur sain [...]. Nous avons montré que cette phase était un silicate de calcium hydraté (C-S-H) de structure proche de la tobermorite.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Astronomy
CONT

As a moon orbits around a giant planet, tidal forces can cause its crust to flex back and forth, creating friction that heats the moon from within. This phenomenon of tidal heating is probably what creates the subsurface oceans thought to exist on Jupiter's Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus.

The Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research(SIETAR) is the world's largest interdisplinary network for professionals working in the intercultural field. The purpose of SIETAR is to encourage the development and application of knowledge, values and skills which enable effective intercultural and interethnic relations at individual, group, organisation and community levels. SIETAR Europa was founded in 1991 and is part of the international SIETAR network. The network was originally established in 1974 and now includes over 3, 000 interculturalists and 15 national and regional groups world-wide.

  • Meteorology
CONT

An ionosphere is a layer of charged particles(ions and electrons) found in the upper levels of an atmosphere, created when gas molecules in the atmosphere are ionized. On Europa, this ionized layer can be caused either by the Sun's ultraviolet radiation or by energetic particles trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field, known as the magnetosphere.

Au-delà de la mésopause s'étend la thermosphère au sein de laquelle la température s'élève à nouveau pouvant atteindre 500 °C. C'est dans la thermosphère que l'on identifie les principales couches ionisées qui jouent un rôle prépondérant dans la propagation des ondes radioélectriques.

CONT

L'ionosphère, l'électrojet. Les particules transportées par le vent solaire interagissent avec les molécules d'air de la haute atmosphère créant une couche ionisée, l'ionosphère. Cette couche conductrice peut réfléchir, absorber ou transmettre les ondes radio suivant leurs fréquences. À l'équateur magnétique, la configuration du champ magnétique, qui est horizontal, crée une concentration de courant électrique intense et très localisée, l'électrojet (EJ). Cet électrojet modifie la morphologie des variations des composantes magnétiques H (horizontale) et Z (verticale).
