Sentence examples for ice erosion from inspiring English sources

The island, roughly triangular in shape and with an area (excluding associated islands) of 42,031 square miles (108,860 square km), is part of the Appalachian geologic province of North America, in which the landforms run from southwest to northeast and are characterized by continental drift, volcanic action, crustal deformation, ice erosion, and deposition.

When liquid contaminants entered the voids of partially ice saturated frozen soil, the rate of ice erosion was significantly increased.

Full ice saturation and barrier temperatures below the freezing point depression of the contaminant are needed to minimize ice erosion.

Questions concerning formation of frozen gravelly sand barriers in the vadose zone and barrier resistance to ice erosion by liquid contaminants provided the impetus for this study.

Results showed that ice erosion in the bench-scale barriers occurred when the contaminant freezing point depression was lower than the temperature of the frozen soil.

Although previous interpretations advocate direct glacial ice erosion, we offer the alternative interpretation that forms were eroded by meltwater, specifically by plucking, sediment abrasion, and cavitation in high velocity, sediment-laden flows.

Though conditions are fairly simple in soil, geostress in rock has a wide range because it is influenced by the stresses remaining from past geologic events: mountain building, crustal movements, or load subsequently removed (melting of glacial ice or erosion of former sediment cover).

Here we identify varying impacts of ice sheet erosion on the low-relief bedrock surface of the Fennoscandian shield, and examine the geological, topographical and glaciological controls on these patterns.

The article deals with the geomorphological diversity (confluence of Neris and Vilnia rivers, junction of two ice ages, erosion hill terrains, terrace levels, etc). of Vilnius city which played an important role in choosing the place for the city to be established and in formation of its defence structure.

He bore witness to the unfolding challenges of shrinking glaciers, receding sea ice, coastal erosion, and wildfires that burn even tundra--all with impacts on humans and wildlife alike.

We propose that prolonged ice-sheet erosion across a passive continental margin caused troughs to deepen and lower the surrounding ice-sheet surface, leaving adjacent mountains exposed.
