foliation
The act of coating with an amalgam of tin foil and quicksilver, as in making looking-glasses
foliation
The act of beating a metal into a thin plate, leaf, foil, or lamina
foliation
The enrichment of an opening by means of foils, arranged in trefoils, quatrefoils, etc.; also, one of the ornaments
foliation
The property, possessed by some crystalline rocks, of dividing into plates or slabs, which is due to the cleavage structure of one of the constituents, as mica or hornblende. It may sometimes include slaty structure or cleavage, though the latter is usually independent of any mineral constituent, and transverse to the bedding, it having been produced by pressure
foliation
{n} the act of beating into thin plates, the folded state of leaves while in the bud
foliation
The manner in which the young leaves are disposed within the bud
foliation
Process of sprouting leaves, state of being in leaf
foliation
(geology) the arrangement of leaflike layers in a rock
foliation
The banding or lamination of metamorphic rocks as opposed to the term stratification of sedimentary rocks
foliation

foliation

foliation
A set of submanifolds of a given manifold, each of which is of lower dimension than it, but which, taken together, are coextensive with it
foliation
Numbering of folios
foliation
Planar arrangement of structural or textural features in any rock type, but particularly that resulting from the alignment of constituent mineral grains of a metamorphic rock along straight or wavy planes. Foliation commonly occurs parallel to original bedding, but it may not be obviously related to any other structural direction. Foliation is exhibited most prominently by sheety minerals, such as mica or chlorite
foliation
Sequential numbering of individual leaves The front of the leaf is referred to as the recto (r) and the back as the verso (v)
foliation
the production of foil by cutting or beating metal into thin leaves
foliation
the work of coating glass with metal foil

foliation
the work of coating glass with metal foil the production of foil by cutting or beating metal into thin leaves (architecture) leaf-like architectural ornament (geology) the arrangement of leaflike layers in a rock (botany) the process of forming leaves
foliation
Process where once randomly distributed platy minerals in a rock become reoriented, because of metamorphism, in a parallel manner
foliation
nothing to do with 'foliage' but a corruption of 'foil-age' see foil
foliation
The process of forming into a leaf or leaves
foliation
The arrangement of a set of minerals in parallel, sheet-like layers that lie perpendicular to the flattened plane of a rock Occurs in metamorphic rocks on which directed pressure has been exerted
foliation
It may sometimes include slaty structure or cleavage, though the latter is usually independent of any mineral constituent, and transverse to the bedding, it having been produced by pressure
foliation
The property, possessed by some crystalline rocks, of dividing into plates or slabs, which is due to the cleavage structure of one of the constituents, as mica or hornblende
foliation
A decoration of a manifold in which the manifold is partitioned into sheets of some lower dimension, and the sheets are locally parallel (More technically, the foliated manifold is locally homeomorphic to a vector space decorated by cosets of a subspace)
foliation
{i} process of producing leaves; process of separating into thin layers; leafy decoration; numbering of pages
