How can a phenomenon of orbital dynamics and celestial mechanics, such as the Laplace resonance, result in distinctive tectonic patterns on a planetary body The linking process is tides. The orbital resonance forces orbital eccentricities. Thus, as a satellite orbits Jupiter, even if its... 

In marbles and skarnoids, the consistent U-Ba-Mo-Pb-V-Zn association and absence of Th, the rare occurence of graphite, and the REE patterns in uraninite are evidences for a possible synsedimentary and/or diagenetic origin of the uranium and associated metals. This primary metal stock located in impure dolostone with possible evaporitic layers (as indicated by the presence of scapolite and kampfite in skarnoids) would have been more or less remoblllzed during regional metamorphism and tectonics. 

The Tfj-symmetrical hexaaddition pattern also represents an attractive core tecton for dendrimer chemistry [26, 31, 63-67]. Examples for such dendrimers, involving a core branching multiplicity of 12, are 38 and 39 [63, 64], Addition of six mesotropic cyanobiphenyl malonate addends produced the spherical thermotropic liquid crystal 40 [65], DSC and POM investigations revealed a smectic A phase between 80 and 133 °C. Interestingly, this spherical and highly symmetrical compound gives rise to liquid crystallinity despite the absence of molecular anisotropy. 

The compositions of the crusts of the Moon and Mars are distinct - one is dominated by feldspathic cumulates from an early magma ocean, and the other by basaltic lavas. Regional patterns reflect differences in subjacent mantle compositions. The compositions of the mantles and cores of these bodies can be constrained by chemical analyses of mantle-derived basalts. The interiors of both bodies have remained geochemically isolated, because of the absence of plate tectonics.

Heat transfer due to the movement of matter from one location to another is called convection. You have probably placed your hand over an open flame of one type or another. Even though there is no physical contact between your hand and the flame, you can still feel the warmth of the flame. Uneven heating is generally the cause of convection in a fluid. For example, the air near an open flame will be heated and become less dense than the air higher above the flame. The heated air will rise while the cooler denser air will fall. The rising warm air will subsequently come into contact with your hand and heat it. Convection also causes the motion of the tectonic plates and air circulation patterns of our planet.
