Sentence examples for glacial phases from inspiring English sources
An erroneous correlation between glacial phases and pluvial phases in the tropics has been widely accepted in the past, although cold ocean water means less precipitation, not more.
Prior to the glacial phases of the Quaternary, the preglacial predecessor of the Ohio drained northwestward from the Appalachians across the Midwest, but far north of its present course.
The combined benthic δ13C and Cd/Ca data indicate the source of well-ventilated upper waters in the South Atlantic changed from Northern Component Water (NCW) during early glacial phases to Upper Southern Component Water (USCW) during mid-to-late glacial phases when the Southern Ocean may have become isolated.
These chambers were periodically influenced by river inundation and volcanic activity, whereas the area outside the cave was greatly influenced by glacial phases, which changed humid forest environments into grassland environments.
(5) Loess is the product of pleniglacial phases: in early glacial phases its occurrence is very limited, and the malacofauna of these loess horizons is characterized by an absence of most subpolar or alpine species.
