A measurement used frequently for fish length when the tail has a fork shape. Projected straight distance between the tip of the fish and the fork of the tail. (ASFA Thesaurus)
Chisel ploughs are rippers that are designed for use with tractors. They have two or three rows of springloaded tines with ripping points attached to a frame. (Gachene CKK., Kimaru G. (eds.)

The act of increasing by natural growth or by matter added. For example, the gradual increase or extension of land by natural forces acting over a long period of time, as on a beach by the washing up of sand from the sea or on a flood plain by the accumulation of sediment deposited by a stream.

Paper that has been separated from the solid waste stream for utilization as a raw material in the manufacture of a new product. Not all paper in the waste stream is recyclable. It may be heavily contaminated or otherwise unusable. (http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/7014)
The lysocline is the depth in the ocean dependent upon the carbonate compensation depth (CCD), usually around 5 km, below which the rate of dissolution of calcite increases dramatically because of a pressure effect. (Wikipedia. 2025. Lysocline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysocline)

A gauge, in science and engineering, is a device used to make measurements or in order to display certain dimensional information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument))
An experimental design in which the desired precision for measuring the interaction effect between the two factors is higher than that for measuring the main effect of either one of the two factors. This is accomplished with the use of three plot sizes. (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/AGRO_00000330)
