Recharge water transports the contaminants to the aquifer 4 Hydraulic conductivity Defines the ability of the aquifer to transport water, which determines the flow rate of contaminants 3 Aquifer media Refers to the saturated zone material properties, which controls the pollutant attenuation processes 3 Soil media The unconsolidated or loose covering that covers the surface of the earth.
Pigment completely covers the surface of the leather, forming a barrier to the natural grain.
Gregory covers the surface of his skulls in malachite, pearl or lapis lazuli.
Elk, white-tailed deer, coyotes, and birds inhabit the ponderosa pine forest that covers the surface.
For example, keratin filaments, the intermediate filaments of epithelial cells, which line surfaces of the body, give strength to the cell sheet that covers the surface.
Some 35 miles to the north, in the heart of the Napa Valley, another array of 994 solar panels covers the surface of a pond at the Far Niente Winery.
Glaze, ice coating that forms when supercooled rain, drizzle, or fog drops strike surfaces that have temperatures at or below the freezing point; the accumulated water covers the surface and freezes relatively slowly.
Mr. Stillman embossed his drawings by hand, scribbling the designs onto a sheet of paper with a nonwriting stylus, then rubbing over the paper with a flat-sided stick of charcoal or pastel to reveal the white outline of the drawn design; the pigment covers the surface but does not enter the embossed grooves.
Q. Is there a geological reason that a significant amount of the world's crude oil seems to be under desert lands? A. The ancient conditions necessary for the formation of petroleum were both environmental and geological, and these conditions were sometimes but not always met in areas where desert now covers the surface.
In short, the kind of sediment that covers the surface of a continental shelf is determined by the interplay among the tectonic setting, the size of the rivers that empty into it (size based on how much sediment they carry), and the wave energy that affects it, just as is the case with continental margins in general.
Another material that also derives from the cortical granules covers the surface of the egg to form a transparent layer, called the hyaline layer, which plays an important role in holding together the cells (blastomeres) formed during division, or cleavage, of the egg.
