Human interventions have led to widespread conversion of natural coastal landscapes to agriculture, aquaculture, and silviculture, as well as to industrial and residential uses. After providing broader perspectives, this chapters discusses coastal landform changes in Bangladesh. Based on the information ...
The ecological landscapes known as deserts, defined by very arid conditions of low precipitation and high evaporation, include plentiful mountains, plains, plateaus and canyons that include distinctive sub-varieties of desert landforms. These include gravel plains, sand dunes and dry lakebeds. Many nat...
The breathtaking scenery of the El Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve in the northern state of Sonora affords visitors a dramatic combination of two very distinct landscape types: volcanic landscapes (El Pinacate) in the east, and sand dunes (Gran Desierto de Altar) towards ...
Therefore a closer look at the hummocks south of the area of the last glaciation was essential, based on a comparative analysis of similar landforms in glacial and non-glacial landscapes including West Siberia. The resultant explanation puts glacial processes aside and ascribes the flatbread-shaped ...
Such a change could have disastrous effects on rainforest habitats and the plant and animal life that calls them home. Unlike open landscapes, the space beneath a rainforest canopy tends to maintain stable temperatures, creating a kind of protective bubble environment that shields the forest from ...
One could argue that this foundation concept has been ‘lost’ in recent decades as many geomorphologists focus more intensively on relatively small scale, reductionist analyses and case studies of landforms/landscapes, and the use of new technology and datasets for such analyses (Preston et al.,...
Many of the distinctive features of the northern landscapes of North America and Europe were formed by glaciers that once covered almost one-third of the planet's land surface. The shape of the land A glacier is a large body of ice that formed on land from the compaction and ...
Because of flight is transnational and cross-chau long distance in 10 hours of continuous flight can be experienced in different landscapes and different weather and different seasons and different colors. 翻译结果5复制译文编辑译文朗读译文返回顶部 ...
1. For several days prior to the activity have students make observations and descriptions of the landscapes and landforms surrounding their local area. 2. Form small groups of three or four students and ask them to create a list of words or phrases that describe the landscapes ...
Tufas explain traditional land uses and landscapes from the Holocene to the present. They are complex units with functions as defence, hydraulic power, and agriculture, and they are divided in specialized internal areas depending on their natural and socio-economical features. Three cases of natural...
