Geography	The expansion of cohesionless soils when subject to shearing deformation. Source: European Union. (references)
	Property of granular masses to expand in bulk with changes of shape under the effect. Source: European Union. (references)
Mining	An increase in the bulk volume of a granular mass during deformation, caused by a change from close-packed structure to open-packed structure, accompanied by an increase in the pore volume. The latter is accompanied by rotation of grains, microfracturing, and grain boundary slippage. (references)
