Involving running water, usually relating to river or stream processes.
Industry:Earth science
Involving the reconstruction of the Earth's physical geography through the geological past, including the distribution of land and seas, the depths of the seas, geomorphology of the land and climatic belts.
Industry:Earth science
Is a triangular accumulation of sand and/or gravel located along the coastline. This feature is formed by the joining of two.
Industry:Earth science
Is the amount of water that is actually removed from a surface due to the processes of evaporation and transpiration.
Industry:Earth science
Large asymmetric fluvial bedforms, commonly with straight or sinuous crests and lacking localized scours on the lee-side. Bedforms interpreted as sandwaves on some areas of the Continental Shelf are up to 15m high, with wavelengths of up to 1km.
Industry:Earth science

Industry:Earth science
Latitude of 66. 5° South. The northern limit of the area of the Earth that experiences 24 hours of darkness or 24 hours of day at least one day during the year.
Industry:Earth science
Length scale of turbulent motion below which the effects of molecular viscosity are non-negligible. In three dimensional turbulence, the Kolmogorov scale is (\nu^2/\epsilon)^(1/4) in which \nu is the kinematic viscosity and \epsilon is the energy dissipation rate per unit mass.
