- 1From:The Gale Encyclopedia of Science (Vol. 4. 6th ed.)A landform is a natural feature formed by the erosion or accumulation of soil or rock on Earth's surface. Most landforms are produced by the actions of weathering and erosion, carving away material from higher elevations...
- 2From:The Gale Encyclopedia of Science (Vol. 4. 6th ed.)Langurs and leaf-monkeys belong to the subfamily Colobinae of the primate family Cercopitecidae. These Asian species of colobine monkeys are classified in seven genera (Semnopithecus, Presbytis, Trachypithecus,...
- 3From:The Gale Encyclopedia of Science (Vol. 5. 6th ed.)Ocean basins are the part of Earth's surface that extends seaward from the continental margins. The ocean basins constitute one of the two major topographic features of Earth's surface, the other being the continents....
- 4From:The Gale Encyclopedia of Science (Vol. 4. 6th ed.)Bony fish are divided into two major groups: ray-finned and lobe-finned fish. The lobe-finned fish are further subdivided into two orders: the lungfish, or Dipnoi, and the lobe-finned fish, or Crossopterygii. Although...
- 5From:Encyclopedia of New York StateFor its areal extent New York State's physical base displays more diversity than any other state in the Union. Geomorphologists divide the state into nine major landform regions; most can be further divided into...
- 6From:Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation: Proceedings of the 1st International ConferenceSoil slope failure is one of the common disasters in Thailand. Several modes of failure are found ranging from debris flow from a mountainous area to a circular deep-seated failure in very soft marine clay deposit in...
- 7From:Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation: Proceedings of the 1st International ConferenceFor handling with monitor information of slope, analyzing and predicting the stable state of a large scale slope timely, authors established the Slope Monitoring Information and Instability Indication Analysis System...
- 8From:Encyclopedia of New York State(656 [mi.sup.2]/1,699 [km.sup.2]; pop 69,441). Created in 1806 from Chenango Co and named for James Madison, fourth president of the United States. Madison Co is subdivided into 1 city, Oneida, and 15 towns containing...
- 9From:Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation: Proceedings of the 1st International ConferenceThis work aimed to study on stability-assessment way of a high excavated-slope. A stable slope was the key to insure the security of building site adjacent to the high slope, which frequently encountered in town...
- 10From:Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation: Proceedings of the 1st International ConferenceThis paper discusses the use of geogrids in the rehabilitation of failed slopes in restricted sites. Failed slopes are often associated with prolonged intense rainfall and lack of slope internal drainage. The...
