|
| Englishman Simon Chalk will be official record-holder for the fastest rowed crossing of the Indian Ocean after all. |
|
| Similar stratal geometries have been described from comparable levels in the Chalk of the North Sea, and in outcrop in Britain and France. |
|
| Consequently, Chalk should not be perceived as merely a thick pelagic ooze deposited in a tectonically quiescent period. |
|
| Chalk is perhaps the most recognizable and conspicuous rock type in Europe. |
|
| To many they represent channels formed by submarine erosion and redeposition of the Chalk during relative sea-level falls, linked to tectonics. |
|
| Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater aquifers, which produce clear waters and a generally stable flow and temperature regime. |
|
| Chalk downland has several butterflies found nowhere else, and the chalkhill blue is one of these. |
|
| The Slip Free Yoga Chalk is now our favourite way of keeping hands sweat-free, especially during athletic ashtanga and Bikram classes. |
|
| Chalk was important to yard operations for without it switching freight cars in marshalling yards would have been slower and much more difficult. |
|
| The contact between Cretaceous Chalk and Palaeogene siliciclastic sediments is a megasequence boundary within the fill of the Wessex Basin. |
|
| The Grey Chalk contains common intercalations of thin, marly layers, with omnipresent bioturbation. |
|
| Chalk them up to adrenaline crashes, too much rage and reefer and booze. |
|
| Chalk and similar soft, bedded limestones provide crumbly soils that are both well drained and have the capacity to retain water in the microporous rock structures. |
|
| A Caucasian Chalk Circle for our own age, it begins with the howl of death mingled with dread despair and ends with an act of terrible tenderness. |
|
| Chalk has never been used to shore up a monument in this way before. |
|
| Minor downwarp of reflectors over the edge of some concave-down features is noted, as in the case of the reflection associated with the base Tarrant Chalk Member. |
|
| The Chalk is, in its lower part, extensively quarried for cement. |
|
| Chalk dust, Sellotape, thread, bath bombs, and nail polish, all in pastel shades, will complete the palette. |
|
| Chalk up another feat of astounding strength for the hollow threads called carbon nanotubes. |

|
|
| The Chalk Group is a European stratigraphic unit deposited during the late Cretaceous Period. |
|
| The Chalk Group, like the underlying Gault Clay and Upper Greensand, is diachronous. |
|
| It forms a distinct layer below the Gault Formation and the Upper Greensand Formation which directly underlie the Chalk Group. |
|
| Chalk aquifers and to a lesser extent winterbourne streams supply much of the water required by the surrounding settlements. |
|
| Blackheath, Chalk Farm and St John's Wood are among the areas contesting being the original home of the semi. |
|
| After a brief honeymoon in Chalk in Kent the couple returned to lodgings at Furnival's Inn. |
|
| The Patagonian Myolania belongs to the Upper Chalk, having been found associated with remains of Dinosauria. |
|
| Some echinoids, such as Micraster, which is found in the Cretaceous period Chalk Formation of England and France, serve as zone or index fossils. |
|
| Chalk is not easily consolidated and the Chalk Group still consists of loose sediments in many places. |
|
| Detailed geological investigation showed that it was the result of delayed compactional diagenesis of the Chalk Formation reservoir rocks. |
|
| The Chalk forms characteristic white cliffs on both sides of the English Channel, an example are the white cliffs of Dover. |
|
| In the north and centre of the county the substrate is the rocks of the Chalk Group, which form the Hampshire Downs and the South Downs. |
|
| Chalk deposits are very porous, so the height of the water table in chalk hills rises in winter and falls in summer. |
|
| Chalk as seen in Cretaceous deposits of Western Europe is unusual among sedimentary limestones in the thickness of the beds. |
|
| Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope. |
|
| Chalk mining boomed during the Industrial Revolution, due to the need for chalk products such as quicklime and bricks. |
|
| Chalk is a source of quicklime by thermal decomposition, or slaked lime following quenching of quicklime with water. |
|
| An ovate implement from the Lower Chalk plateau has a few similar rechippings, and tells the same tale. |
|
| For the gala occasion I had tucked into the watch pocket of my corduroy pants several explosives, about the size of a quarter, only thicker, known as Devil's Chalk. |
|
| Chalk transferring to cover the complete surface indicates a good fit. |
|
|
|
| Chalk is mined from chalk deposits both above ground and underground. |
|
| Chalk has greater resistance to weathering and slumping than the clays with which it is usually associated, thus forming tall steep cliffs where chalk ridges meet the sea. |
|
| Chalk is a porous rock, so the chalk hills have little surface water. |
|
| Inland behind the Chalk were less resistant sands, clays and gravels. |
|
| The situation was transformed in December 1969, when Phillips Petroleum discovered oil in Chalk of Danian age at Ekofisk, in Norwegian waters in the central North Sea. |
|
| Chalk and flints were deposited over much of Great Britain, now notably exposed at the White Cliffs of Dover and the Seven Sisters, and also forming Salisbury Plain. |
|
| Chalk grassland also supports a rich fauna, particularly of insects. |
