| The site was selected for its northern orientation, its shelter from the prevailing south-east wind, its open terrain, views and landform. |
|
| It will be interesting to see how this landform stands up to wear and tear from the public. |
|
| A dominant landform near the Cuesta College campus is the chain of volcanic necks known as the Morros or the Seven Sisters. |
|
| These four landform types are called lava flows, volcanic peaks, calderas, and volcanic necks. |
|
| The small-scale karren features, usually a few millimetres to a few metres in size, are the most widespread karstic landform. |
|
| Tertiary stratigraphy throws considerable light on landform and river development. |
|
| The building hovers above a stabilised berm, turning with the river to reinforce landform and contour. |
|
| There are places on Earth today that may bear a close resemblance to the Antarctic landform back then. |
|
| They are characterized by a low, slightly undulating landform and a thick covering of loose materials. |
|
| If a volcano has consistent eruption habits, its landform will reflect that character. |
|
| The landform along Neitung creek is also very complex and declivitous. |
|
| Of the 1,450 volcanoes listed in the table of landform types, 80 percent occur along subduction zones, and 15 percent occur along rift zones. |
|
| Topoclimate is the climatic regime conferred on a site by its landform shape, its slope position, and aspect. |
|
| But the forces of erosion begin to modify the shape of a volcanic landform almost immediately and continue indefinitely. |
|
| Ask students to identify the landform region that corresponds to each photo or clip. |
|
| Queensland lies astride two major Australian landform zones: the Eastern Uplands and the Central Sedimentary Lowlands. |
|
| During a five-month study the piano-size probe will map and measure Pluto's geology and landform origins, as well as its surface compositions and temperatures. |
|
| This richness is a result of the interaction of other ecosystem features such as landform, soils, and climate. |
|
| A petroglyph that represents a landform or the surrounding terrain is known as a geocontourglyph. |
|
| Much of the landform has been shaped by the actions of glaciers and the shrinkage of the bay over long periods of time. |
|
|
|
| A cirque may also be a similarly shaped landform arising from fluvial erosion. |
|
| A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. |
|
| Landscapes can be used to distinguish mappable areas of soils because similar causal factors are involved in landform and soil genesis. |
|
| Besides meltwater, sediment flux is very important for determining glacifluvial landform type. |
|
| As this area of Britain was not subject to glaciation, the plateau remains as a remarkably old landform. |
|
| King's Cave on the south west coast is an example of an emergent landform on such a raised beach. |
|
| Tuya Butte was the first such landform analyzed and so its name has entered the geological literature for this kind of volcanic formation. |
|
| A spit or sandspit is a deposition bar or beach landform off coasts or lake shores. |
|
| The sense of ice flow was defined by crescentic fractures and rat tails on both sides of this composite landform. The age relationship could not be determined. |
|
| Since geomorphic processes under arid, humid, glacial, and possibly other climate conditions can induce particular landforms, areas subject to periodic climate change often show polygenetic landform associations. |
|
| The basic landform and water regime categories within such a classification can be complemented with modifiers that describe other features of the wetland, for example, for vegetation, soils, water quality, and size. |
|
| Other buildings and key elements of the landform are ranked in terms of their visual importance and in terms of the necessary levels of their visual protection into three further categories. |
|
| Great cities have a well defined and recognizable physical pattern, or urban morphology, defined by the relationships between buildings, streets, open spaces and landform. |
|
| What geological landform reaches around Toronto westwards? |
|
| On the Moon and Mars-the two highest priority targets for the Canadian and international scientific communities-meteorite impact craters are the dominant geological landform. |
|
| Coastal landform changes are monitored and hazard extents are mapped in selected locations in order to better understand these processes and to identify erosion and flooding hazards. |
|
| Ponds, thermokarst lakes, and sloughs are scattered throughout this landform. |
|
| The landform is relatively flat, the topography gradually rises from west to east and it's in an undulant plain landform from a macroscopic view. |
|
| The Alpine landform hosted a unique complement of montane-nesting species such as Northern Wheatear, Surfbird, and Rock Ptarmigan. |
|
| If all known seamounts were collected into one area, they would make a landform the size of Europe. |
|
|
|
| A natural landform at the monument's location followed this line, and may have inspired its construction. |
|
| A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. |
|
| A limestone pavement is a natural karst landform consisting of a flat, incised surface of exposed limestone that resembles an artificial pavement. |
|
| Next, we talk about the climates typically associated with each landform. |
|
| In morning or evening sunlight the curved paths then cast clear shadows, the shapes pop into focus, and the landform has a physical or haptic presence. |
|
| To help them they used landform models from paleogeologist Ron Blakely to give them a layout of the Earth over four different geologic time frames, the Daily Mail reported. |
|
| Any similar landform lower than this height was considered a hill. |
|
| Geest is a type of landform, slightly raised above the surrounding countryside, that occurs on the plains of Northern Germany, the Northern Netherlands and Denmark. |
|
| Whether a landform is called a mountain may depend on local usage. |
|
| Orographic precipitation is similar, except the upwards motion is forced when a moving airmass encounters the rising slope of a landform such as a mountain ridge. |
|
| Cliff landforms provide unique habitat niches to a variety of plants and animals, whose preferences and needs are suited by the vertical geometry of this landform type. |
|
| Should ice segregation, plucking and abrasion continue, the dimensions of the cirque will increase, but the proportion of the landform would remain roughly the same. |
|
| The Brazilian Highlands on the east coast are fairly smooth but show some variations in landform, while farther south the Gran Chaco and Pampas are broad lowlands. |
|
| Compressional forces, isostatic uplift and intrusion of igneous matter forces surface rock upward, creating a landform higher than the surrounding features. |
