Sentence examples for slumping surface from inspiring English sources

Compaction has already been inferred as the origin of large-scale deposit features (i.e., slumping, surface depressions, and faults) and fractures formed as the material properties transform from behaving as a ductile granular material to a brittle solid (Keating 2005).

Slopes outside the area of the actual ice sheets those under tundra conditions and unprotected by vegetation were rendered less steep by the periglacial slumping of surface deposits under the influence of gravitation.

Our results reveal that surface slumping and intermittent collisional dynamics in the bulk of the bed are correlated, especially for the fine more cohesive particles (Geldart group C/A boundary), but not as much for the less cohesive larger particles (Geldart group A/B boundary).

Concrete samples produced and cured with treated wastewater did not have a significant effect on water absorption, slump and surface electrical resistivity.

In and around the high scatter zone, slump scars of submarine landslides are widely distributed (Kimura et al. 2011; Strasser et al. 2011) and may include very recent slumping events which can affect the surface heat flow.

The American spacecraft's laser altimeter first noted a drop in the ice-surface height associated with the slumping.

Transpiration of this moisture to the surface or exposure of subsurface soil (slumping) produces more thenardite.

In the OV-1012 trial, a drop seizure was defined as any drop attack or spell involving the entire body, trunk, or head that led to a fall, injury, slumping in a chair, or the patient's head hitting a surface, or that could have led to a fall or injury, depending on the patient's position at the time of the attack or spell.

The depth of the craters appears to be a consequence of the low surface gravity, which apparently is not strong enough to cause slumping.
