palsa

Palsas form in groups or "fields" and the individual palsa can show its age difference from the others.

All that is usually left after a palsa collapses is a depression surrounded by a rim.

Palsa forms include mounds, moderately straight ridges, and winding ridges.

Kalervo Palsa used an incredibly varied palette of techniques and materials even including housepaint.

Palsa drew a great deal of influence from both the lives and works of numerous painters, writers and philosophers.

In cross-section, the ice cores of a palsa show layering, which is caused by the successive winter freezing intervals.

The vegetation of a palsa may comprise low shrubs and lichen in addition to the sedges characterizing the peat.

The Finnish language distinguish the differences: "letto, neva, räme, korpi, palsa".

Unlike pingos, palsas do not require surrounding permafrost to grow, seeing as palsa are permafrost.

Maj-Lis was actually the sister of Kalervo Palsa's childhood sweetheart Maaret.

Palsa surfaces are frequently traversed by open cracks, caused by doming (dilation cracking), frost cracking, or desiccation.

Pingos also grow below the active layer, which is the depth that the annual freeze-thaw cycle occurs, and palsa grow in the active layer.

Also, the higher a palsa grows the dryer the peat covering the palsa becomes leading to more insulation which protects the inner core from melting.

Abhuva, Arjundaha, Babudaha, Bakura, Palsa, Baliyadanga and Barkiyari are some of the other villages in the same Tehsil.

Long neglected, Kalervo Palsa has enjoyed a revival of sorts since the publication of critical works, a biography and two major retrospectives in Helsinki and Pori.

The song, "Palsa Palsa," started with a James Brown-style guitar lick and layered on percussion, horns, lead and call-and-response vocals.

The elevated surface of a palsa will tend also to have thinner snow cover, allowing greater winter cooling, while in summer the surface material (especially if organic) will dry out and provide thermal insulation.

Open cracks that commonly accompany palsa growth and the water that tends to accumulate around palsas, probably as a result of their weight depressing the adjacent bog surface, are important factors in this process.

Gram panchayats of Murarai I block/panchayat samiti are: Chatra, Dumurgram, Gorsha, Mohurapur, Murarai, Palsa and Rajgram.

In the southern hemisphere palsa remains from the last glacial maximum have been identified on the Argentine side of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego just north of Cami Lake.

Palsa did have a brief fling with abstract art while staying in New York, but as he recounts in his diary, that phase came to an abrupt halt when one day he saw a passed out black man sprawled on a subway bench.
