This section explains how point weights can be used to remove slivers.
We later exploit this observation and change weights to increase orthospheres of slivers.
Weakly oriented phacoid-shaped tectonic slivers of country rock within the fault zone are in the centimetre to decimetre scale.
The sliver is the only type of small volume tetrahedron whose circumradius over shortest edge length ratio does not grow with decreasing volume.
Earthquakes reflect the means whereby continents are assembled and broken apart, sometimes involving slivers migrating vast distances, and colossal rejigging of surface environments.
Besides the sliver exudation method described in this section, there are two other methods that provably remove slivers.
A flat triangle that is not a sliver has either a short edge or a large circumradius and thus a large ratio.
And that leaves just a sliver of space in which to work.
