The oceans are rising, mountain glaciers are shrinking, low-lying coastal areas are eroding, and the very timing of the seasons is changing.
With most Japanese enjoying high living standards, politicians have shied away from taking painful measures to create future growth: deregulation of the economy, large-scale privatizations or decisive action against a rising mountain of bank debt.
The oceans are rising, mountain glaciers are shrinking, low-lying coastal areas are eroding, and the very timing of the seasons is changing, with spring coming as much as a week earlier in parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
We passed above a rising mountain of debris west of Beaumont, where trucks were delivering materials they'd carted away from the insides of houses in the nearby suburbs of Bevil Oaks and Northwest Forest.
From this Iron Age hill fort, built in 400 BC, the views sweep down from the North York Moors and over to the Vale of York and the Vale of Mowbray to the distant Pennines, a low-rise mountain range sometimes dubbed "the backbone of England".
We suggest geometry of "Inclined Solar Chimney" (ISC), which is constructed along the face of a high rising mountain, on which maximum solar insolation is incident throughout the year.
The maximum clastics influx enters the Kurdistan foreland basin from the rising mountain belt (Qulqula and ophiolites hinterland) left most of the sediment as thick accumulations proximal to the mountain front, filling the huge accommodation space via a high subsidence rate.
Rising mountain peaks, cotton ball clumps of fluffy, white sheep, and the occasional Quechua native, dotting the landscape with a burst of color.
Rocks as young as late Cretaceous, formed from the shedding of sediments towards the continental interior from rising mountain ranges farther west, were themselves caught up in the mountain-building as deformation progressed inland.
But to counter this argument, we only need to think back to the ancestral species, the one which is presumed to have occupied the ancestral territory, and colonised the new one (or, as proposed by Darwin, become split in two by a rising mountain range).
The town lies on a narrow strip of land between the bay and the steeply rising mountains that encircle it.
