| During the Miocene the shelf was intermittently emergent, and the submarine canyons were extended to the shelf area through headward erosion. |
|
| The Alpine lakes of northern Italy, also, are now thought to occupy sites of headward erosion during Messinian time. |
|
| The headward erosion of streams into the plateau surface eventually isolates sections of the plateau into mesas, buttes, monuments, and spires. |
|
| In weightlessness, there is a headward shift of body fluids that results in a slight rounding of my face and thinning of my legs. |
|
| Collapse of tunnel roofs initiates lateral gullying and lengthens existing cuts headward. |
|
| Through progressive headward failure, the landslide advanced 680 m from the riverbank in less than an hour. |
|
| Through progressive headward failure, the landslide scarp retreated 680 metres from the riverbank in less than an hour, most in the first 15 minutes. |
|
| When lift is applied, forces are experienced which appear to the pilot as being applied from a headward direction, i.e., from head to toe. |
|
| Through a process called headward erosion, it gradually moved eastward, gobbling up the land around its headwaters in Pac-Man fashion, until it met up with the ancestral upper Colorado. |
|
| There are no major reductions in topography along this course that the river could exploit through headward erosion and thereby significantly deepen the valley. |
|
| Nasal congestion that astronauts experience in conjunction with the headward fluid shift can cause decreased taste sensitivity in some astronauts. |
|
| The erosion is both downward, deepening the valley, and headward, extending the valley into the hillside, creating head cuts and steep banks. |
|
| Three of the five sites experienced headward erosion during the study period, and profile changes occurred at two of the sites. |
|
| If the cylindrical body wall is followed headward, it is found to terminate ventrally as the tongue, dorsally in the skull around the brain, ears, and eyes. |
|
| Small lakes in glaciated regions have also often developed into bogs if they were not drained by headward erosion of stream beds or completely filled with terrestrial sediments. |
