Modern climate models do a good job of simulating many large-scale features of present-day climate.
The maps showed only large-scale features like the continent-size highlands and some mountain peaks.
The surface of Tethys has a number of large-scale features distinguished by their color and sometimes brightness.
Most of these histories would be similar in their large-scale features.
Unlike textures, structures are always large-scale features that can easily be studied in the field.
The eddies, in turn, get pulled apart by shear flow and give up their energy to these large-scale features.
In the remainder of this book we will be using plate tectonics as a framework for the interpretation of the Earth's large-scale topographic features.
The damage at the surface is much greater if there is differential settlement, or large-scale features, such as sinkholes.
Some large-scale features of the Earth are the result of extension rather than shortening.
The break (a large-scale feature of the Pacific High) is caused by a temperature inversion embedded in the moving trade wind air.
