But perturbations whose magnitude exceeds a certain threshold will break out of the canal, moving the developmental process into uncharted territory.

"The magnitude of this tragedy exceeds all initial calculations," Mr. Pastrana said in a nationally televised address.

The earthquake caused several mudslides in areas where the magnitude exceeded Level VII, but none caused numerous deaths.

For neural excitation to take place, the magnitude of the induced electric field (or its gradient) must exceed an activation threshold.

The magnitude of the 1707 event exceeded that of both the 1854 Ansei-Tōkai and Ansei-Nankai earthquakes, based on several observations.

Other aftershocks' magnitudes did not exceed 4.3 or 4.5 M.

The magnitude of these earthquakes rarely exceeds 6.5 on the Richter scale and is unlikely to cause material damage.

In On the Sphere and Cylinder, Archimedes postulates that any magnitude when added to itself enough times will exceed any given magnitude.

Invention is magical because the magnitude of the output can exceed by almost infinite measure the magnitude of the inputs.

The magnitude and depth of the reforms affecting all areas of Church life during his pontificate exceeded similar reform policies of his predecessors and successors.
