| In natural conditions, unrestrained beaches and mudflats tend to move inland under rising sea levels and thus avoid steepening. |
|
| They are activated by storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and steepening of slopes by erosion or human modification. |
|
| Now, as Glenn and I headed up the steepening grade, I remembered how Hawley's handshake with Edgecomb had turned into a hug. |
|
| A monocline is a bend in the strata resulting in a local steepening in only one direction of dip. |
|
| In it I spoke of our country being in decline, of being in an ever downward, ever steepening, ever accelerating spiral. |
|
| Previous drilling on the south west limb indicated that the mineralisation envelope was steepening to possible sub-vertical angles at depths greater than 130 metres. |
|
| Many seamounts show signs of intrusive activity, which is likely to lead to inflation, steepening of volcanic slopes, and ultimately, flank collapse. |
