To serve this purpose, we present a 100m resolution global map of Local Climate Zones (LCZs), an universal urban typology that can distinguish urban areas on a holistic basis, accounting for the typical combination of micro-scale land-covers and associated physical properties. ...
Here, climatic zones, determined by elevation, affect weathering and erosionas well as the distribution of plant and animal life. In the high desert (Upper Sonoran) zone of the canyons (3500 to 5000 feet), summers are hot and dry, and winters are mild. On the canyon rims (5500 to 7500...
7 argued that thickened crustal roots can remain metastable if dry, but the introduction of water into these lower crustal zones can result in a dramatic weakening. Rosenberg and Handy8 showed that significant weakening of continental crust occurs at ~10% melt fraction. Proposed mechanisms for the...
