seep

A new genus and five species of mussels (Bivalvia, Mytilidae) from deep-sea sulfide hydrocarbon seeps in the Gulf of Mexico.

Rainwater seeps into the ground and moves in cracks through pore spaces in the rocks and soil.

In the first fraction of a second after water seeps from a cavern ceiling, some of the gas dissolved in the seepage enters the humid air because the cave's air isn't saturated with carbon dioxide.

Humidity also causes formaldehyde gas to seep out of pressed-wood furniture, O'Connell says.

* A group called Northern California River Watch has filed suit against Beringer Blass for allowing industrial run-off to seep into the Russian River in violation of the U.S.

On unpaved land, rainwater seeps through plants and soil to replenish groundwater.

Foster says SEEPS is a cost-effective impact modifier for PPO (GE's Noryl) and syndiotactic polystyrene (Dow's Questra SPS).

Now, if rain seeps in through crevices in a home, that damage will be covered.

That's the recent finding of Penn State University researchers who study tubeworms nourished by hydrocarbons that leak from the Earth's crust at cold-water openings called seeps. The tubeworms are the longest-lived known invertebrates-with the exception of colonial animals such as coral in which pieces may die but the colony lives on.

When the plates submerge into Earth's mantle, or interior, at a speed of few centimeters a year, seawater also seeps in, according to the study.

Here, decades of production and research have provided insights on an area where natural seeps were pumping oil into the ocean a million years before humans came along.
