6. Thermal shock
Generally speaking, thermal shock represents the difference between extreme temperatures (minima and maxima) measured in the same plane of material over a defined period of time.

diurnal: temperature difference between day and night;
seasonal: temperature difference between winter and summer;
instantaneous: when a heated surface is suddenly brought into contact with a cold liquid.
