SurfaceIn mathematics, a surface is a two-dimensional manifold. Examples arise in three-dimensional space as the boundaries of three-dimensional solid objects. The surface of a fluid object, such as a rain drop or soap bubble, is an idealisation. To speak of the	Surface waveIn physics, a surface wave is a wave that is guided along the interface between two different media for a mechanical wave, or by a refractive index gradient for an electromagnetic wave. An example is the waves at the surface of water, ocean surface waves.	Surface Transportation ActThe Surface Transportation Act ( US) of 1987 was the first transportation bill of the post-interstate era. It nominally gave power to apportion money to the Secretary of Transportation. Most noticeably it allowed states to raise the speed limit to 65 mile
Surface chemistrySurface chemistry is the study of chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of two phases, usually between a gas and a solid or between a liquid and a solid. One important field of surface chemical research is related to surface functionalization, wh	Surface tensionIn physics, surface tension is an effect within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet. It is the effect that allows insects (such as the water strider) to walk on water, and causes capillary action, for example.	Surface pressureSurface pressure is the atmospheric pressure at a point of Earth's surface. It is directly proportional to the mass of air over that point. For numerical reasons, atmospheric models such as general circulation models (GCMs) usually predict the nondimensio
