Striation
Striations means a series of ridges, furrows or linear marks, and is used in several ways: * Glacial striation * Striation (fatigue), in material * Striation (geology), a striation as a result of a geological fault * Striation Valley, in Antarctica * In hyperbolic geometry, a striation is a reflection across two parallel mirrors. * In anatomy, striated muscle * In acoustic phonetics, striations are vertical bands on a spectrogram associated with pulses of the vocal folds when producing voiced periodic sounds. * Striations can be found in certain glasses. These have been caused by turbulent flow during teeming (pouring) of the glass. * Striations can be observed in clouds. See Barber's pole. * Ballistic fingerprinting
