  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-002412",
  "term": "Modulus of compression",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A measure of a material's resistance to uniform compression, also known as the bulk modulus. It quantifies how much a material's volume changes under hydrostatic pressure. In geophysics, the bulk modulus is a key elastic property of rocks, influencing the velocity of P-waves and providing insights into the rock's fluid content and porosity.",
