In the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic churches, the mantle is a monastic garment worn by bishops, hegumens, archimandrites, and other monastics in processions and while attending various church services, such as Vespers or Matins ; but not when vested to celebrate the Divine Liturgy.

* Bishop in Greek-style mantle ( Church of the Holy Sepulchre )

May she give to the Church today, as in times gone by, the mantle of her protection and obtain from God, that now at last, the Church and all mankind may enjoy more peaceful days.

The mantle worn by an archimandrite will be joined in front at the bottom as well as at the neck, and will have " tablets " or " pectorals " ( Greek: πόματα, pómata ; Slavonic: skrizhali )— rectangular pieces of red or green cloth sewn onto the corners of the mantle ( i. e., two at the neck and two at the feet ).

Particularly famous is the Pratt Mantle, relatively easy but a classic mantle ; the Pratt Overhang, a classic off-width, an adjacent John Gill face problem, and the forty foot Monkee Traverse.

Aluminum is also far more common in the Earth and Earth's crust than the universe and solar system, but the composition of Earth's mantle ( which has more magnesium and iron in place of aluminum ) more closely mirrors that of the universe, save for the noted loss of volatile elements.

Continental crust is inherently lighter and of a different composition to oceanic crust, but both kinds reside above a much deeper fluid mantle.

It is postulated that the Deccan Traps eruption was associated with a deep mantle plume.

As Elijah is lifted up, his mantle falls to the ground and Elisha picks it up.

Fractionation of the lanthanide series elements is used to compute ages since rocks were removed from the mantle.

In the 1960s, a series of discoveries, the most important of which was seafloor spreading, showed that the Earth's lithosphere, which includes the crust and rigid uppermost portion of the upper mantle, is separated into a number of tectonic plates that move across the plastically deforming, solid, upper mantle, which is called the asthenosphere.

There is an intimate coupling between the movement of the plates on the surface and the convection of the mantle: oceanic plate motions and mantle convection currents always move in the same direction, because the oceanic lithosphere is the rigid upper thermal boundary layer of the convecting mantle.

This coupling between rigid plates moving on the surface of the Earth and the convecting mantle is called plate tectonics.

In 1359 following a meeting with Pope Innocent VI and further meetings with Petrarch it is probable that Boccaccio took some kind of religious mantle.

Davidson further compares to early attestations of the Irish goddesses Badb ( Davidson points to the description of Badb from The Destruction of Da Choca's Hostel where Badb is wearing a dusky mantle, has a large mouth, is dark in color, and has gray hair falling over her shoulders, or, alternatively, " as a red figure on the edge of the ford, washing the chariot of a king doomed to die ") and The Morrígan.

The Earth's interior is made up of layers of molten rock and various elements, in a mantle and core.

Continents sit on continental lithosphere which is part of tectonic plates floating high on Earth's molten mantle.

Oceanic crust is also part of tectonic plates, but it is denser than continental litosphere, so it floats low on the mantle.

A notable exception, discovered in the early 19th century, is the use of a gas mantle above the wick on a kerosene lamp.

The cappa magna ( literally, " great cape "), a form of mantle, is a voluminous ecclesiastical vestment with a long train, proper to cardinals, bishops, and certain other honorary prelates.

Customarily when she is represented as a youthful mother of her newborn child, she wears a deeply saturated blue mantle over a red garment.

The mantle was first mentioned in the Old Testament, as a garment worn by several prophets including Elijah and Elisha.

" mantle is called ' the garment of incorruption and purity ' the text of the Tonsure ceremony, and the absence of sleeves is to remind the monk that he is debarred from worldly pursuits.

A fourth hypothesis finds its origin in a liturgical mantle, which, it is asserted, was used by the early popes, and which in the course of time was folded into the shape of a band ; a fifth says its origin dates from the custom of folding the ordinary mantle-pallium, an outer garment in use in imperial times ; a sixth declares that it was introduced immediately as a papal liturgical garment, which, however, was not at first a narrow strip of cloth, but, as the name suggests, a broad, oblong, and folded cloth.

A mantlet or shawl-mantlet was a shaped garment like a cross between a shawl and a mantle, with points hanging down in front.

The burnous was a three-quarter length mantle with a hood, named after the similar garment of Arabia.

In The Merchant of Venice, William Shakespeare uses the phrase " Jewish gaberdine " to describe the garment worn by Shylock, and the term gaberdine has been subsequently used to refer to the overgown or mantle worn by Jews in the medieval era.

The mantle of the mollusk deposits layers of calcium carbonate ( CaCO < sub > 3 </ sub >) in the form of the mineral aragonite or a mixture of aragonite and calcite ( polymorphs with the same chemical formula, but different crystal structures ) held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin.

Embedded in the conjunctive tissue of the mantle, these cells may survive and form a small pocket in which they continue to secrete their natural product: calcium carbonate.

There are two known processes by which magma ceases to exist: by volcanic eruption, or by crystallization within the crust or mantle to form a pluton.

Mikimoto did not know that government biologist Tokishi Nishikawa and a carpenter, Tatsuhei Mise, had each spent time in Australia and learned the secret to spherical pearl production from expatriate British marine biologist William Saville-Kent — inserting a piece of oyster epithelial membrane ( the lip of mantle tissue ) with a nucleus of shell or metal into an oyster's body or mantle causes the tissue to form a pearl sack.

Two significant differences are that when his mantle is placed on him, its hem is torn to form bands, with which his body is bound ( like Lazarus in the tomb ), and his klobuk is placed on his head backwards, so that the monastic veil covers his face ( to show that he had already died to the world, even before his physical death ).

It includes all phenomena resulting from and causing magma within the crust or mantle of a planet to rise through the crust and form volcanic rocks on the surface.

At the Mid-Atlantic Ridge ( and other places ), material from the upper mantle rises through the faults between oceanic plates to form new crust as the plates move away from each other, a phenomenon first observed as continental drift.

The crust forms in part by aggregation of island arcs including granite and metamorphic fold belts, and it is preserved in part by depletion of the underlying mantle to form buoyant lithospheric mantle.

Hot mantle at the core-mantle boundary rises while cool mantle sinks, causing convection cells to form.

Dewey and Bird suggested that a common form of ophiolite obduction is related to the closure of rear-arc marginal basins and that, during such closure by subduction, slices of oceanic crust and mantle may be expelled onto adjacent continental forelands and emplaced as ophiolite sheets.

As the seafloor spreads, magma wells up from the mantle and cools to form new basaltic crust.

In 1890 he introduced a new form of the mantle based on a mixture of 99 % thorium dioxide and 1 % cerium ( IV ) oxide which he developed in collaboration with his colleague Dr. Haittinger.

The breeding male of the western form O. h. hispanica of the Iberian peninsula and north Africa has the forehead and crown white or nearly white, the mantle buff, and the wings blacker than those of the Northern Wheatear.

It is slightly smaller than the nominate form, with similar plumage, but the back is concolorous with the mantle instead of white.

As the crystallization of this liquid rock proceeded, minerals such as olivine and pyroxene precipitated and sank to the bottom to form the lunar mantle.

In many bivalves the mantle edges fuse at the posterior end of the shell to form two siphons, through which water is inhaled and expelled for respiration and suspension feeding.

In these animals, the gills are relatively small, and form a perforated barrier separating the main mantle cavity from a smaller chamber through which the water is exhaled.

These include intracontinental hotspot volcanism, such as may form above mantle plumes covered by thick continental crust.

However, at least one researcher has cogently argued, on the basis of geochemical data, that the mantle's role in production of anorthosites must actually be very limited: the mantle provides only the impetus ( heat ) for crustal melting, and a small amount of partial melt in the form of basaltic magma.

* a sort of surplice in the form of a bell-shaped mantle, with a hole for the head, which necessitated the arms sticking out under the hem.

The mantle was converted to working form when the cotton burnt away on first use.
