It consists of steep, winding crests, interspersed with narrow, sharp-crested ridges and peaks.
Mapping above and below ground revealed that exfoliation joints are widespread and occur between valley bottoms and mountain crests within glacial (inner and hanging U-shaped trough valleys, glacial cirques, and steep mountain crests) and predominantly fluvial landforms (gently inclined linear slopes above the inner trough valleys, narrow inner-valley gorges, and steep V-shaped side gullies).
Each of the 14 sites was assigned to a geomorphic environment (see Table 3) and broadly grouped as low slope angle crest, steep erosional slope, or low slope angle valley floor.
The left-right-left swerves, with a huge compression and then steep rise to a crest, are taken at more than 180mph and were once the most difficult in F1, but advances in car design have meant they could be taken flat-out in top gear in recent years when it was dry.
California Highway Patrol officers issued nearly five dozen traffic citations this past weekend on the steep and mountainous Angeles Crest Highway in response to reports of speeding motorcyclists and close-call collisions.
Mallards panic upstream as we round the bend to see the walls of Hulne Priory cresting its steep mount.
Janka also made a big error and lost speed cresting the steep final pitch into the finish.
Hills are also problematic as sensors on self-driving cars are often fixed in position, meaning that they point uselessly into the sky when cresting a steep hill, or into the ground when descending.
After cresting the steep eastern face of the range, the plane reached a high-altitude stretch of the San Joaquin basin, which stores water in its frozen form right up until the thousands of Friant district farms need it each spring.
The steep hills and blind crests highlighted the Titan's available descent control, which when engaged enabled me to bring the vehicle to a complete stop and then let the vehicle control the speed and braking for me on its way down.
