erosional escarpment
1.A steep slope or cliff; an escarpment.
2.The fox went to ground under a rocky escarpment
3.These outstanding examples of cone karst owe their existence and uniqueness to several interacting geological, biological, erosional and climatic phenomena.
4.Situated on the edge of the Cotswolds escarpment, above the Vale of Berkeley and the River Severn, it is a picturesque village.
5.The author describes the characteristics of the Caledonian erosional surface in the North China, i. e the top sur-faceof the Ordovician marine carbonate system (Tg reflection wave group), and its controlling over the formation of the oil/gas pools in the marine carbonate sequences.
6.The Shan-Gan-Ning basin oil-gas region can be divided into four types: 1. Jurassic Yanan Palaeographic drape region, located in middle west of the basin, developed Jurassic channel sand oil-gas reservoir sequence which lies on the top of erosional surface of Yanchang group.
7.In order to study the life of wearing and erosional gun,a new way that measures the wear and erosion in the bore to evaluate gun life is introduced by analyzing the common methods of gun life evaluated in China.
8.I say “mostly” because there invariably comes a time when the keen-as-mustard brigade want to scamper up another escarpment, while my inclination is to follow the low road where one is more likely to encounter the locals.
9.The erosional surface and planation tops of mountains mainly formed in 40-25 Ma and 15 - 8 Ma. The central Tibetan Plateau uplifted in 25 - 8 Ma as a whole and began extensional breaking in 8-6. 5 Ma.
10.In this paper, the erosional characteristics along the Suizhong sarldy coast of the Liaodong Bay are analyzed by comparing nautical charts in different periods and analyzing remote sensing images and multi-year field monitoring data, and it is shown from the analysis results that the loose coastal sediments and intense coastal dynamic actions are the basic conditions for the recent coastal erosion, and the decrease in terrigenous material discharged into the sea, marine dynamic actions, coastal engineering structures and offshore sand recovery are the main affecting factors for the coastal retrogradation.
