6. segmentation
   Organization of the body into repeating units called segments is a common feature of several phyla, eg. arthropods and annelids, although the segments arise by very different mechanisms. Segmentation also occurs during embryonic development in vertebrates, eg. partition of the mesoderm into somites, and is a feature of early CNS development. See rhombomeres, neuromeres.

    segmentation. The breaking up of a fault along its length into several smaller faults. This can happen as a result of other faults crossing it, topography changes, or bends in the strike of the faults. Segmentation can limit the length of faulting in a single earthquake to some fraction of the total fault length.
