compact rock

It also has a cascading spring emerging from hard and compact rocks.

The second group contains compact rocks with permeability ranging from divided into three groups.

The apron in front of the hangar was made from compacted rock chips, with puddles everywhere.

Manekato could feel a layer of hard, compact rock beneath a thin skim of dust.

For installation, the caissons will be placed on a compacted rock mattress for stability.

The foundations go down about 3 feet, 5 inches, into compacted rock, earth that O&G used to fill in underground fissures.

Julia kept on squeezing long after it was necessary, wringing every wisp of air out of the compacted rock.

Subsequently, a smooth shear plane develops through this compacted rock flour producing the smooth, shiny, polished surface.

The rover is now being prepared to move on in search of suitable targets for a compact rock drill, the final major sample acquisition system to be tested.

The impact breaks up compacted rock to create nooks and crannies for bacteria to reside in, and it also brings in a fresh supply of food.

Ignimbrite - Fine-grained to aphanitic, buff to dark brown compact rock with parallel streaks or lenticles of black glass, produced by violently explosive volcanoes.

Mylonite is a fine-grained, compact rock produced by dynamic recrystallization of the constituent minerals resulting in a reduction of the grain size of the rock.

It can work in hard or soft soils, either homogeneous (compact rocks, silts, sands) or heterogeneous (split or broken rock, alluvia, moraines).

Fluid escape may be impeded by sealing of the compacting rock by surrounding impermeable layers (such as evaporites, chalk and cemented sandstones).

They have been created by erosion processes whose sediments were transported inland sea and then lithified (the process by which sediments are transformed into a compact rock.)

Here one can easily explore the secret of cascading water by reaching close to the spot from where water emerges from the top in the form of bubbles through hard and compact rocks.

Pochvoobrazovatelniot substrate can be: Pochvoobrazovatelniot substrate of compact rocks ( mountain region ) and Pochvoobrazovatelen substrate of loose and poorly bonded sediments ( valley plains ).

In an 1824 published geological study, 19th century Blackwell was described as follows: "Descending into a little valley at Blackwater, slate and compact rock present themselves in a section afforded by a ravine."

Compact rock located about half a meter below the surface curbs the vines' vigor, which favors the formation of loosely-packed bunches of moderate size with high sugar levels, which means they are particularly suitable for drying.

I do not understand precisely why important international matches can be played on an artificial surface made from compacted rock salt and decaying radioactive isotopes when such a pitch is deemed to be unacceptable for the Champions League.

Cementation is the diagenetic process by which coarse clastic sediments become lithified or consolidated into hard, compact rocks, usually through the deposition or precipitation of minerals in the spaces between the individual grains of sediment.

Initially, it is a soft, foul-smelling matter that floats on the ocean but through exposure to the sun and the salt water over years it turns into a smooth lump of compact rock which feels waxy and has a sweet smell.

However, it remains an open question whether the dust continues beyond about 100 metres, becoming fully compacted rock at 10 to 20 km, or whether it gives way to broken rock somewhere not far beyond 100 metres depth.

Harder more compact rocks (eg. Granite, Basalt) tending to resist weathering and erosion better than loosely consolidated ones (eg. Sandstone, Chalk) and hence the harder rocks will tend to form upstanding features.

The center is filled with displays and information about the local flora and fauna, including a thick book of blank pages entitled "Rattlesnakes of Sunriver" (one of the naturalists explains that Sunriver's compact rocks and soil make a poor habitat for snakes).
