| Additional work tasks include tree clearing, loaming and seeding, and associated erosion and sedimentation control measures. |
|
| Paralell with volcanism a hilly peneplain formed in northeastern Scania due to weathering and erosion of the basement rocks. |
|
| The gross geography of Scania reflect more the preglacial development than the erosion and deposits caused by the Quaternary glaciers. |
|
| These conditions are consistent with observed polar cap erosion and may even influence the triggering of large dust storms. |
|
| Fluvial processes include the motion of sediment and erosion or deposition on the river bed. |
|
| The erosion associated with overland flow may occur through different methods depending on meteorological and flow conditions. |
|
| Once the peat is exposed in these ways, it is prone to further erosion by wind, water, and livestock. |
|
| Large gravel deposits are a common geological feature, being formed as a result of the weathering and erosion of rocks. |
|
| These zones cause erosion along their edges, further eroding the marsh into open water until the whole marsh disintegrates. |
|
| Other seaweed may be used as fertilizer, compost for landscaping, or a means of combating beach erosion through burial in beach dunes. |
|
| Fossilization is a rare event, and most fossils are destroyed by erosion or metamorphism before they can be observed. |
|
|
|
| During the 50 years since the introduction of the USLE, many other soil erosion models have been developed. |
|
| This helps to show the relationship between erosion and the shape of a mountain range. |
|
| This watershed area has been affected by loss of biodiversity, erosion of the peaty soils' structure, and accelerated drainage. |
|
| Changes in sea levels and climate led to a strong erosion and to the formation of more sedimentary rocks. |
|
| Soil erosion rates are expected to change in response to changes in climate for a variety of reasons. |
|
| Ice sheets that form during glaciations cause erosion of the land beneath them. |
|
| Retreat is more often chosen in areas of rapid erosion and in the presence of little or obsolete development. |
|
| The majority of the erosion of river channels and the erosion and deposition on the associated floodplains occur during the flood stage. |
|
| These roots can slow down water flow, leading to the deposition of sediments and reduced erosion rates. |
|
| Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, causing soil erosion from one place and deposition in another. |
|
| He envisioned a rejuvenated landscape repopulated with groves of live oaks that would thrive as they helped stay erosion and slow gulf winds. |
|
| Studies on soil erosion suggest that increased rainfall amounts and intensities will lead to greater rates of soil erosion. |
|
| Oil in affected coastal areas increased erosion due to the death of mangrove trees and marsh grass. |
|
| Such projects could for example concern preserving water quality, sustainable land management, planting trees to prevent erosion and floods. |
|
| The sediment originates primarily from water erosion in the Loess Plateau region of the northwest. |
|
| The Independent Labour Party disaffiliated from the Labour Party in 1932, in protest at an erosion of their MPs' independence. |
|
| The geomorphology of Scotland was formed by the action of tectonic plates, and subsequent erosion arising from glaciation. |
|
| Terracing is an extremely effective means of erosion control, which has been practiced for thousands of years by people all over the world. |
|
| Glacial erosion on the north side of the crag gouged a deep valley later filled by the now drained Nor Loch. |
|
| It told the story of the island's coast and illustrated the cliff falls and erosion that Blackgang suffered over the years. |
