    How come the ocean hasn't been absorbed into the ground?

    Almost all crustal rocks have some amount of porosity (i.e. the volume fraction of the entire rock that is not composed of solid minerals, like holes in swiss cheese) either through the natural packing configuration of grains or fractures on crystalline rock. All the porosity in these rocks is...

    Linear interpolation between two surfaces

    Hi, I'm trying to create an interpolated volume from two surfaces. Let me explain exactly what I'm doing. I am trying to obtain a rough estimate for the temperature in a certain geographical area and at depth. I have the temperature of the rocks at the surface in the form T1=T(x,y,z) where z...
