aeolian processes

These aeolian processes take place in slow motion, as if at the bottom of the sea.

Aeolian processes are affected by human activity, such as the use of 4x4 vehicles on deserts.

Although water is much more powerful than wind, aeolian processes are important in arid environments such as deserts.

In aeolian processes, wind transports and deposits particles of sediment.

Using a computer model to simulate a tsunami, they argue that the structures are more consistent with aeolian processes.

The north-eastern part contains sand deposited by aeolian processes, which create dunes.

So too, this very strange and picturesque ecosystem in the savanna is the result of having been modeled by the wind (aeolian processes).

It has experienced aeolian processes, and has some small craters and graben structures.

Sediments are most often transported by water (fluvial processes), wind (aeolian processes) and glaciers.

In geological terms, it is a mosaic of river, swamp, lake, and wind-borne deposits, while aeolian processes have proven the most imprinting.

A hamada is a type of desert landscape consisting of a high rocky plateau where the sand has been removed by aeolian processes.

The lake was formed by aeolian processes after tectonic upwarping occurred to the south subsequent to the end of the Pleistocene epoch.

Surface stability may be affected by erosion through Aeolian processes, hydrology, subduction, volcanism, sediment or seismic activity.

Geologists believe that other oil deposits were formed by aeolian processes in ancient deserts as may be the case with some of the major American oil fields.

Observations of possible cross-bedded strata on the upper mound suggest aeolian processes, but the origin of the lower mound layers remains ambiguous.

Eolianite or aeolianite is any rock formed by the lithification of sediment deposited by aeolian processes; that is, the wind.

Winds can shape landforms, via a variety of aeolian processes such as the formation of fertile soils, such as loess, and by erosion.

Aeolian processes, fluvial processes, and tidal processes can remove the finer portion of a sedimentary deposit leaving the coarser material behind.

Some of the lower sediment layers may have originally been deposited on a lakebed, while observations of possibly cross-bedded strata in the upper mound suggest aeolian processes.

In most valley networks, later aeolian processes have deposited wind-blown sediments in the bottoms of the valleys, obscuring the nature of the channel which must have cut them.

The topic of His Ph.D. thesis was "Prediction of Aeolian Processes using Radar Remote Sensing and Numerical Models".

By comparing similar features today to features in the rock record-for example, by comparing modern sand dunes to dunes preserved in ancient Aeolian processes sandstones-geologists reconstruct past environments.

With the results of the planetary missions in the early 1970s, attention shifted to Mars and research on volcanism and aeolian processes through the analysis of Mariner 6, 7, and 9 data.

The two primary sedimentary depositional environments that produce quartz arenites are beaches/upper shoreface and aeolian processes, due to their high residence time, high transport distance, and/or high energy of the environment.

Planetary geology includes such topics as determining the internal structure of the terrestrial planets, and also looks at planetary volcanism and surface processes such as impact craters, fluvial and aeolian processes.
