Industry:Earth science
A frequency lying between 3 kHz and 30 kHz. The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation therefore lies between 10 km and 100 km.
Industry:Earth science
The power-density contours, at the ground, of the radiation from a transmitting antenna or the pattern of a receiving antenna carried on an aircraft or artificial satellite. The term has a number of other meanings as well, including, apparently, that of resolution. The term ground coverage is preferable.

Industry:Earth science
A measure of the shape of a three dimensional object. A. Cailleux's formula is (a+b)/2c , in which a is the longest dimension of the object, c the shortest and b and a representative, intermediate dimension.
Industry:Earth science
The force exerted between two bodies because they have mass. If the bodies have masses m<sub>1</sub> and m<sub>2</sub>, respectively, and are of negligible size in comparison to the distance r between them, then the force f acting between the two bodies is f = - G m<sub>1</sub> m<sub>2</sub> r/r <sup>3</sup>. G is the gravitational constant.
