The commission concluded that "the spreading problems of campaign finance have begun to infect Wisconsin's model system and have eroded its pre-eminent position" and drafted a comprehensive package to upgrade the campaign finance system.
The first and largest glacier was the Sherwin or Pre-Tahoe glacier, which eroded the upper Merced watershed to an extent close to its present form.
We interpolated an inclined, pre-incision surface from minimally eroded remnants along the valley interfluves and calculated the eroded volume of the valleys carved beneath the surface.
At least 4 km of pre-glacial strata have been eroded from the present inner shelf and coastal hinterland by glacial processes.
Specifically, pre-glacial landforms may be eroded although they are initially protected by cold-based ice, when the ice configuration promotes significant basal shear stress (glacial erosion) at the edge of a plateau-like landscape.
On the Olympic Peninsula the Blue Mountain unit at the base of the Crescent Formation includes sediments (including large boulders of quartz diorite) of continental origin, showing that the continent was close by; other sediments were eroded from the pre-Cenozoic rock of Vancouver Island and the northern Cascade Range.
But the knowledge that we are dealing with such an advanced pre-pubescent never erodes the sweet sense of awe and innocence that is present from Edgar's first sentence right up to the finale, at the World's Fair itself: "a quiet world of tomorrow" with "everyone all dressed up".
Paleosol sequences exhibit "Maya Clays," a facies that reflects a glut of rapidly eroded sediments that overlie pre-Maya paleosols.
Most of the state is underlain by pre-Illinoian drift, which has been eroded for at least a few hundred thousand years by a relatively dense network of streams.
But Molycorp, like other foundation stones of American industrial pre-eminence that have cracked or eroded under foreign competition, faces challenges that may prevent its bet from paying off.
American pre-eminence in mass education has eroded since the 1970s, and now a number of countries have leapfrogged us in high school graduation rates, in student performance, in college attendance.
