Erosional

Climatic and geological changes over time would be expected to change areas back and forth between sedimentary and erosional environments. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The range is a striking example of erosional processes. ❋ Unknown (2008)

After having tumbled from above some time ago, it now quietly lies on the sand below, sinking, totally in submission to the slow erosional forces of the waves. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Water is causing erosional damage and stains to a number of chapels. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Overall, however, multi-year experiments suggest that the arctic ecosystems most responsive to climate change are very likely to be those in which the environmental change is linked to a large change in nutrient inputs or soil nutrient turnover, and/or large changes in leaching or erosional losses of soil-available nutrients (Fig. 7.27). ❋ Unknown (2009)

The erosional material composing these foothills is coarser than the fine sediments of the adjacent Mesic Dissected Plains (43q). ❋ Unknown (2009)

In estuaries that are less than 2 meters (m) deep, river discharges in late winter may be impeded by ice and diverted offshore through erosional channels or by tidal inflows [43]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The gothic erosional landscape of the Little Missouri Badlands formed when the Little Missouri River was diverted along a steeper course by Pleistocene glaciers. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Canadian/Cimmaron Breaks ecoregion is a broad erosional incision between the High Plains (25) and the Central Great Plains (27). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Soft clays of the White River Badlands (43h) form the dramatic erosional landscape of the “Wall.” ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Cherokee Plains ecoregion is a nearly flat erosional plain that is dominated by clayey, slowly to very slowly permeable soils; it is less irregular and more poorly-drained than the Osage Cuestas (40b). ❋ Unknown (2009)

For example, the Mackenzie and Yukon are both erosional rivers, while the Siberian rivers are depositional, especially the Ob for which the drainage basin includes marsh lowlands [25]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the latter case, the hills are a result of old erosional processes typical for this ecoregion, relief features called "melkosopochniki" (low mountains with gentle forms). ❋ Unknown (2008)

The park contains no active glaciers but does contain permanent snow fields plus erosional and deposition features typical of both Cordilleran and Continental glacial action. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Lake Basins Formed by River Activity where the erosional and depositional action of river water can isolate depressions to form lakes (e.g. plunge-pool lakes below former waterfalls and oxbow lakes in former river channels, such as those along the Mackenzie River). ❋ Unknown (2008)

Cirque Lakes are ice scour lakes that form in the upper portion of mountainous areas where lakes occupy amphitheater-shaped depressions formed by the erosional action of mountain glaciers. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In Bolivia, we followed the linework and classification of Ribera et al., lumping the "humid seasonal Amazon forest", "evergreen seasonal moist forests", and "riparian forest of major erosional activity" along the Mamoré River and its tributaries. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The river follows a concave longitudinal profile from the steeper headwater regions, where erosional effects predominate, to the gently sloping lower courses where more material is deposited as sea level is approached. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The Cherokee Plains region is a flat erosional plain with more poorly drained and less fertile soils than in 40b and 40c. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The south of the Park is mostly hills and basins, the hills forming a modern erosional surface of rocky strike ridges flanked by narrow talus slopes or pediments, separated from each other by alluvial flats of varying widths. ❋ Unknown (2008)
