surficial

This formation is an integral part of the surficial aquifer system.

Surficial geology in this region contains a number of fossils.

Surficial deposts account for approximately 4% of world uranium resources.

Unconsolidated surficial materials may also be given a lithology.

Dynamical processes on desert pavements and the healing of surficial disturbance.

But part is due to expansion of surficial ocean water that is heated further by the temperature rise.

When the soil swells on wetting, the former surficial material is mixed with the subsoil.

The roots anchor the unstable surficial soil into the deeper stable layers or bedrock.

May portray bedrock or surficial units, or both.

Geomorphological relationships may occur where a surficial feature, such as a river, flows through a gap in a ridge of rock.

The surficial geology of the New Jersey inner coastal plain is among the most complex in the world.

Langer Heinrich in Namibia is another significant surficial deposit.

In the rock record, this will increase the influence of more surficial rocks, which usually includes sedimentary rocks.

Surficial deposits also occur in peat bogs, karst caverns and soils.

Surficial aquifers are recharged locally as the water table fluctuates in response to drought or rainfall.

Mineralization in calcrete (calcium and magnesium carbonates) are the largest of the surficial deposits.

Osteochondrosis, or surficial pits in bone at places where bones articulate, is also known in Edmontosaurus.

The sub horizontal drains are accompanied by surficial collectors which gather the water and take it away through networks of small surface channels.

In addition environmental geomorphology includes extraction of surficial materials and protection of certain landscapes, such as beaches, which benefit man.

It was there that the deepest known recovery of surficial gas hydrate occurred at a water depth of 1.8 mi (3,000 m).

Dr. Bacchus has stated that the power plant's cooling pond and water use have caused "surficial aquifer draw down."

Surficial processes are the physical and chemical phenomena which cause concentration of ore material within the regolith, generally by the action of the environment.

Analysis also indicates that the cracks are not surficial but extend partially through the block and will eventually extend all the way through.
