If someone is " fishing " for information, we do not imagine that the person is anywhere near the ocean ; rather, we transpose elements of the action of fishing ( waiting, hoping to catch something that cannot be seen, probing ) into a new domain ( a conversation ).

If the sill depth is deep, water circulation is less restricted and a slow, but steady exchange of water from the estuary and the ocean occur.

If however, a large tract of ocean intervenes between the continental margin the subduction zone, a fully developed arc and back arc basin ( Fig 1D ) may eventually arrive and collide with the continental margin.

If some of the components are liquid at a given temperature while others are in the gel phase, the two phases can coexist in spatially separated regions, rather like an iceberg floating in the ocean.

If the river breaches its natural levees ( i. e., during a flood ), it will spill out onto a new course with a shorter route to the ocean, thereby obtaining a more stable steeper slope.

If it were to catastrophically slide into the ocean, it could generate a wave with an initial height of about at the island, and a likely height of around at the Caribbean and the Eastern North American seaboard when it runs ashore eight or more hours later.

If the center loses power or becomes incapacitated in some manner, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center backs tropical cyclone advisories and tropical weather outlooks for the northeast Pacific ocean while the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center backs up tropical cyclone advisories and tropical weather outlooks for the north Atlantic ocean.

If the body does contain toxins, then the marketing and sale of ocean sunfish meat is forbidden in the European Union according to Regulation ( EC ) No 853 / 2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

If the city was threatened with a typhoon, it would move close to shore, fill the pontoons with sea water and sit on the ocean floor for more stability.

If for example a data file contained 10 years of temperature records at specific point in the ocean, and the metadata identified this point, the meta information would describe the position, the record length, the mean temperature, the trend, variance, any anomalies detected either through automated processing or through human interpretation.

If one of these spheres were scaled to the size of the earth, the tallest mountains and deepest ocean trench would measure only () high.

: If a big wave comes in, large and unfamiliar fishes will come from the dark ocean, and when they see the small fishes of the shallows they will eat them up.

A famous prayer called the Bhaja Govindam was composed by Adi Sankara, a summary of which is ; " If one just worships Govinda, one can easily cross this great ocean of birth and death.

If you stand in San Francisco and look out over the ocean, you are looking at China and Russia-most certainly the East.

* " If you repeatedly dive it will come to your hand Who said that there is no pearl in the ocean.

* " If you repeatedly dive it will come to your hand Who said that there is no pearl in the ocean.

If that same plant had no cooling tower and used once-through cooling water, it would require about 100, 000 cubic metres an hour and that amount of water would have to be continuously returned to the ocean, lake or river from which it was obtained and continuously re-supplied to the plant.

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If you drive greater distances than that, you'll just be skimming the surface and will never discover the enchantment, fascination and beauty which lured you in the first place to explore the hinterlands.

If, however, a layer of paper remains stuck to the surface, the adhesive has not failed.

If there is refraction at a collective spherical surface, or through a thin positive lens, O ' 2 will lie in front of O ' 1 so long as the angle u2 is greater than u1 ( under correction ); and conversely with a dispersive surface or lenses ( over correction ).

If the above errors be eliminated, the two astigmatic surfaces united, and a sharp image obtained with a wide aperture — there remains the necessity to correct the curvature of the image surface, especially when the image is to be received upon a plane surface, e. g. in photography.

If rotation is arrested, the energy stored in fashioning the concave surface must be dissipated, for example through friction, before an equilibrium flat surface is restored.

If a player is unsure of whether a bet is a single or multi-roll bet, it can be noted that all single-roll bets will be displayed on the playing surface in one color ( usually red ), while all multi-roll bets will be displayed in a different color ( usually yellow ).

If the ball has a rough surface, the fluid flowing past it will make it rotate.

where Q is the electric charge transferred through the surface over a time t. If Q and t are measured in coulombs and seconds respectively, I is in amperes.

If the missile starts to roll, the gyroscopic force of the disk drives the control surface into the airflow, cancelling the motion.

If a particle of the beam crosses this surface, there will be some kind of interaction.

If an organism ( such as bacteria ) attaches to a valve surface and forms a vegetation, the host immune response is blunted.

If we choose the shape of the control volume such that all flow in or out occurs perpendicular to its surface, then the flow of matter into the system performs work as if it were a piston of fluid pushing mass into the system, and the system performs work on the flow of matter out as if it were driving a piston of fluid.

If a previous fresco was being painted over, the surface would be roughened to give a key.

If a solid surface is chilled below the dew point of the surrounding air and the surface itself is colder than freezing, frost will form on the surface.

If the solid surface is rough, and the liquid is in intimate contact with the solid asperities, the droplet is in the Wenzel state.

If the imaging surface is cleaned of contaminants and residual moisture before the second image is taken, then no image of the missing section would appear.

* If creatures similar to plesiosaurs lived in the waters of the Loch Ness, they would be seen very frequently as they would have to surface several times a day to breathe.

If the fluid being measured is significantly dense, hydrostatic corrections may have to be made for the height between the moving surface of the manometer working fluid and the location where the pressure measurement is desired except when measuring differential pressure of a fluid ( for example across an orifice plate or venturi ), in which case the density ρ should be corrected by subtracting the density of the fluid being measured.

If the universe is static and populated by an infinite number of stars, any sight line from Earth must end at the ( very bright ) surface of a star, so the night sky should be completely bright.
