The injection of fluid mixtures may cause fractures to form throughout the formation to allow the fluid mixture to be delivered to carbonaceous material contained in the formation.

The weakened acidized spots in combination with the stress on the underground formation causes oriented stress- induced fractures to form that are fluidly coupled with the well bore.

The transceivers provide node-to-node communication of data indicating elastic waves generated as a result of the formation of subsurface fractures.

The excavation of galleries underground inevitably causes fractures in the clay surrounding the excavation area.

The anodized coating has a sufficient degree of softness such that the curing of the thermosetting cationic acrylic resin maintains a continuous anodized coating and does not cause a formation of fractures.

They used those drones to make the first-ever drone-based observations of how fractures are forming under meltwater lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet.

In the last flyby of January 26, 2016, it was obvious that the glaciers continue to suffer from displacement in the downward slope with cracks and formation of fractures.
