Shrivelling
Shrivelling is a natural phenomenon where an object, with an attached sub-
elastic covering, has its interior
volume reduced in some way. The covering, which cannot contract any further, is then obliged to wrinkle and
buckle, in order to preserve
surface area while containing the lesser volume.
