Grammar
Comparative form
Hey guys
I'm writing a paper for a congress of material science and in the abstract I want to express the following idea:
"A higher temperature used in a experiment produces a deeper layer on the material tested."
I would like to use the following structure:
The higher the temperature, the deeper the layer obtained.
You could help me with three things here:
1) Could you tell me the name of this Structure? Is it a comparative form? if yes, Which?
2) Is this kind of strucuture formal enough or clear enough to be used in this kind of text I'm writing? Do you have any suggestion on how I could express this Idea?
3) Is my sentence Grammaticaly correct? I remmember hearing this kind of sentence a lot in Series, Movies but I have never payed attention on the grammar structure.
Thanks a lot.
