What is a terapascal used to measure?

A terapascal measures extremely large pressures encountered in high-pressure physics, shock compression experiments, and planetary interior modeling.

How does newton per square meter relate to pascal?

One newton per square meter (N/m²) is exactly equal to one pascal (Pa), both representing pressure units in the SI system.

Why convert terapascal to newton per square meter?

Converting to newton per square meter expresses large pressures in the standard SI unit, facilitating compatibility across various scientific and engineering fields.
