Both tectonic stress and gravitational loading by overburden can produce pressure dissolution. |
According to general relativity, gravitational differences affect time by dilating it. |
In the second quarter the gravitational pull is less, but the moonlight is strong, creating strong leaf growth. |
The Earth's tides are mainly created by the force of the Moon's orbit, along with the Earth's own revolution and gravitational pull from the Sun. |
Below this mass, these dense, compact objects are supported against further gravitational collapse by fermion-degeneracy pressure. |
This process also stabilizes white dwarfs and neutron stars against gravitational collapse. |
