odlamování

Odlamování is a Czech term that translates to "detachment" or "breaking off" in English. It refers to a process of separation or fragmentation, often used in various contexts.

In geology, odlamování can describe the process by which rocks break apart due to weathering, erosion, or tectonic forces. This can result in the formation of smaller fragments, such as pebbles or sand. Glacial activity can also cause odlamování, where ice wedges into cracks in rocks and expands, breaking them apart.

In metallurgy, odlamování might refer to the flaking or peeling of a surface layer from a metal. This can be due to corrosion, fatigue, or improper heat treatment. This type of detachment can compromise the structural integrity of the metal.

The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a psychological or social separation. For instance, it might describe the feeling of emotional detachment from a situation or a person. In a societal context, it could refer to the breaking away of a group from a larger entity or a loss of connection. The specific meaning of odlamování is highly dependent on the context in which it is used.
