theory unification
The process by which deductive, quantitative theories based on first principles continually expand and may come close to or overlap with the domains of other theories, thereby increasing the potential...
thermal inertia
The ability of larger organisms to maintain elevated body temperatures longer due to lower surface area to volume ratios and slower cooling rates
thrust faulting
Type of reverse fault with low dip angle where older rocks are pushed over younger rocks due to compressive stress
