Equidimensional
Equidimensional may refer to: * Equidimensional (geology) used to describe the shape of three-dimensional objects. *Equidimensionality In mathematics, especially in topology, equidimensionality is a property of a space that the local dimension is the same everywhere. Definition (topology) A topological space ''X'' is said to be equidimensional if for all points ''p'' in ''X'', t ...

Equidimensional (geology)
Equidimensional is an adjective applied to objects that have nearly the same size or spread in multiple directions. As a mathematical concept, it may be applied to objects that extend across any number of dimensions, such as equidimensional schemes. More specifically, it's also used to characterize the shape of three-dimensional solids. In geology The word ''equidimensional'' is sometimes used by geologists to describe the shape of three-dimensional objects. In that case it is a synonym for equant. Deviations from equidimensional are used to classify the shape of convex objects like rocks or particles. For instance, if ''a'', ''b'' and ''c'' are the long, intermediate, and short axes of a convex structure, and ''R'' is a number greater than one, then four ''mutually exclusive'' shape classes may be defined by:Th. Zingg (1935).Beitrag zur Schotteranalyse. ''Schweizerische Mineralogische und Petrographische Mitteilungen'' 15, 39–140. Table 1: Zingg's convex object shape clas ...
