	Dike (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dikes are usually high angle to near vertical in orientation, but subsequent tectonic deformation may rotate the including sequence.
		Dikes often form as either radial or concentric swarms around plutonic intrusives or around volcanic necks or feeder vents in volcanic cones.
		Pegmatite dikes are extremely coarsely crystalline granitic rocks often associated with late stage granite intrusions or metamorphic segregations.

	Dike, Greek Mythology Link.
		Dike is Justice, a great goddess worshipped by all and denied by no one.
		For it is a great shame to fail to worship Dike, and no one dares to stand against her openly.
		But some have believed that Dike is fairer than these two, and yields greater benefit and pleasure because, they reason, there is nothing more painful than being wicked, and for that reason they also think that it is fouler to wrong than to be wronged.

	USGS Photo Glossary: dike
		This dike was exposed when a new pit crater formed in about 1880 A.D. in the northeast corner of the summit caldera of Mauna Loa Volcano.
		Dikes are tabular or sheet-like bodies of magma that cut through and across the layering of adjacent rocks.
		Hundreds of dikes can invade the cone and inner core of a volcano, sometimes preferentially along zones of structural weakness.

	DIKE - LoveToKnow Article on DIKE
		Water naturally collects in such trenches, and hence the word is applied to natural and artificial channels filled with water, as appears in the proverbial expression February fihl-dyke, and in the names of many narrow waterways in East Anglia.
		Dike also is naturally used of the bank of earth thrown up out of the ditch, and so of any embankment, dam or causeway, particularly the defensive works in Holland, the Fen district of England, and other low-lying districts which are liable to flooding by the sea or rivers (see HOLLAND and FENS).
		In geology the term is applied to wall-like masses r rock (sometimes projecting beyond the surrounding surface) which fill up vertical or highly inclined fissures in the strata.

	GSA Cordilleran Section Field Trip Guidebook: Independence Dike Swarm
		Dikes correlated with the IDS occur north of the Mt. Morrison quadrangle in the Snow Lake pendant of the central Sierra Nevada, but these dikes likely formed much farther to the south and were translated by Cretaceous dextral faulting to their present location (Lahren et al., 1990; Schweickert and Lahren, 1990).
		Dikes here are shallow-level examples of Independence dikes and resemble dikes exposed in the Ord and Rodman Mountains to the north and west (Dibblee 1964a, 1964b) that cut nearly coeval volcanic rocks of the Upper Sidewinder series (e.g., Schermer and Busby, 1994).
		Dikes in this area mainly strike 320° and are interpreted to have formed during extension orthogonal to the swarm (Karish et al., 1987; Schermer, 1993), based on the observation that the dikes both were injected along and are cut by normal faults in the Upper Sidewinder volcanic series.

	History of the Dike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The dike was closed and the IJsselmeer was born.
		With the building of this dike, experience was gained and this had considerable significance when it came to the construction of the actual Closure-Dike, such as the use of till (boulder clay) as a material for the body of the dike.
		The form of the opening of the drainage sluices that needed to be built into the dike was tested in the old discharge sluice of the Steenenhoek Canal in Hardinxveld.

	OSCN Found Document:DIKE v. MARTIN
		Dike then wanted the plaintiffs to carry him for a one-fifth interest in the venture, and this was agreed upon.
		Dike introduced them to Smith, and stated that he was a large leaseholder, and had two or three leases in which he thought they would be interested.
		Dike took the check, but said he did not know the exact depth that had been drilled, and did not know that the amount was correct, but that he would measure the last hole and advise the plaintiffs of the correct amount, and they could settle with him.

	Dike & Levee Definition, Classification and Statistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A dike or levee is any artificial barrier together with appurtenant works that will divert or restrain the flow of a stream or other body of water for the purpose of protecting an area from inundation by flood waters.
		When failure of the dike or levee could result in a possible health hazard or probable loss of high-value property or damage to major utilities, but loss of human life is not envisioned, the dike or levee shall be placed in Class II.
		When failure of the dike or levee would result in property losses restricted mainly tot he dike or levee and to the owner's property or rural lands, and no loss of human life or hazard to health is envisioned, the dike or levee shall be placed in Class IV.

	EMPLACEMENT MECHANISM OF A MESOZOIC CAMPTONITE DIKE, WINOOSKI, VERMONT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dikes represent magma conduits that develop either along preexisting structural weaknesses in rocks or along an echelon fracture array that is produced during magma emplacement by a hydrofracture-type mechanism.
		The dike was emplaced in the Cambrian Winooski Dolostone which consists of thin beds (15 cm average) that strike N18E and dip 9SE.
		The presence of horns, bridges, and dike-parallel joints suggests that this dike was emplaced within an echelon fracture array that was created during emplacement by a hydrofracture-type mechanism.

	A special “dike with doors” prevents flooding and simultaneously preserves the ecology of the Eastern Scheldt Delta.
		A special “dike with doors” prevents flooding and simultaneously preserves the ecology of the Eastern Scheldt Delta.
		Beyond great tragedies such as the flood of 1953, each flood, including the smaller ones that did not threaten human life, would deposit salt water on the tracts of low-lying, reclaimed farmland – call "polders" – and this would damage crops and curtail growing for several years thereafter.
		If a dike could be designed that would be shut only when there was a threat of a storm surge, and would otherwise be open, the tides would continue to come and go and the Delta’s ecology would remain essentially intact.

	JS Online: Dike 'safety valve' went terribly awry
		Last summer, an earthen dike at the edge of the reservoir was rebuilt with a "fuse plug" - a safety valve to take pressure off the main concrete dam in the event of a flood.
		As further indication that nobody thought the dam and the dike system were under any abnormal pressure, Upper Peninsula Power's Edwards said the floodgates at the dam had been open only enough to allow the minimum flow of 30 cubic feet per second into the river.
		More than three weeks after the dike burst, the Dead River continued to run thick with silt, as evidenced by the brown plume in Lake Superior still visible from the air.
