Furrow

Furrow is a term used in various fields of study, including biology, agriculture, and geology. In the context of biology, a furrow is a groove or trench that forms during certain types of cell division. In agriculture, a furrow refers to a trench made in the earth by a plow, for planting seeds or irrigation. In geology, a furrow can refer to a long, narrow trench or valley in the earth's surface.

Biology[edit | edit source]

In biology, a furrow is a groove or trench that forms during certain types of cell division. This is often seen in the process of mitosis, where the furrow, also known as the cleavage furrow, forms to separate the dividing cells. The formation of the furrow is a critical step in cell division, as it ensures that each new cell will have a complete set of genetic material.

Agriculture[edit | edit source]

In agriculture, a furrow refers to a trench made in the earth by a plow, for planting seeds or irrigation. Furrows are an important part of traditional farming techniques, as they allow for efficient planting and watering of crops. The depth and width of a furrow can vary depending on the type of crop being planted and the specific needs of the soil.

Geology[edit | edit source]

In geology, a furrow can refer to a long, narrow trench or valley in the earth's surface. These can be formed by various geological processes, including erosion and tectonic activity. Furrows can also be created artificially, such as in the process of mining or construction.
