Physiography

The contrast in physiography, as we go northward, is less marked in Alberta and British Columbia. ❋ Unknown (1929)

Beginning with physiography (Green's name for natural history as the study of natura naturata), this scale proceeds to "physiology" or the study of the powers behind nature, the natura naturans that is the subject of German Naturphilosophie in the work of the early Schelling, Lorenz Oken and British thinkers such as John Hunter and John Abernethy. ❋ Unknown (2008)

That description contains additional maps, as well as information on the physiography, geology, soil, potential natural vegetation, and the land use and land cover of the ecoregion. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Nearly level to rolling till plains, lacustrine basins, outwash plains, and rolling to hilly moraines comprise the physiography of this region. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Nearby ecoregions 62, 64, 67, and 84, including all other parts of New Jersey, lack metamorphic crystalline rock, as well as its associated physiography and soils. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Level II ecological regions are useful for national and subcontinental overviews of physiography, wildlife, and land use. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Ultimately, through the interpretive process, the broad range of ecological characteristics, including climate, soils, physiography and water bodies would be considered. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The physiography of the region is generally a continuation of basin and range terrain (excluding the Stockton Plateau) that is typical of the Mojave Basin and Range (14) and the Central Basin and Range (13) ecoregions to the west and north, although the pattern of alternating mountains and valleys is not as pronounced as it is in Ecoregions 13 and 14. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The mosaic of natural vegetation, physiography, lithology, soils, and land use is unlike that of the neighboring Eastern Cross Timbers (29b) and Western Cross Timbers (29c). ❋ Unknown (2009)

The land is molded by tidal action, resulting in a distinctive physiography. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The physiography is generally a continuation of basin and range terrain that is typical of the Mojave Basin and Range (14) and the Central Basin and Range (13) ecoregions to the west and north, although the pattern of alternating mountains and valleys is not as pronounced as it is in Ecoregions 13 and 14. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Overall, physiography and lithology contrast with the low mountains of the Northeastern Highlands (58), the Ridge and Valley (67), and the flat coastal plains of Ecoregions 63 and 84. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Both physiography and land use are different from adjacent, less rugged ecoregions in the Central Great Plains (27). ❋ Unknown (2009)
