What is a terapose used for?

A terapose measures extremely large dynamic viscosities, often in fields like geophysics to describe mantle or lithospheric properties.

How does poise relate to pascal-seconds?

One poise equals 0.1 pascal-seconds and quantifies fluid resistance to shear flow in the CGS system.

Why convert from terapose to poise?

Converting to poise allows expressing very large viscosity values in a more common unit suitable for laboratory or industrial contexts.
