| At first glance the drained muds of the Blyth estuary were dotted with shelduck, redshank, curlew, wigeon, pintail and black headed gulls. |
|
| It grows on nutrient-poor muds on the edges of ponds, lakes and reservoirs that are exposed when water levels fall. |
|
| The basal conglomerates and the equivalent sands and muds on the interfluves are commonly ferruginized. |
|
| We've just completed a sonar survey of all the bottoms to measure the depth of the muds and stuff so we can deploy high-hold anchors. |
|
| This succession is interpreted as the aggradational deposits of meandering and braided, sandy and pebbly fluvial channels over floodplain muds and silts. |
|
| During compaction of siliciclastic muds the flaky clay particles are realigned to be parallel to each other and impart a fissility to the rock, which is commonly called shale. |
|
| Many of them are saline, rich in organic and mineral muds and alkaline waters. Due to this, the health resort system is well-developed. |
|
| We were in a coulee, which is like a slough but deeper and with slushier muds at the bottom. |
|
| It is possible that faulting along the crests of deep-seated anticlines provide the conduit for mobile muds to migrate through to the seafloor surface. |
|
| Continental shelves are usually covered with a layer of sand, silts, and silty muds. |
|
| The biocenosis of bathyal muds is characterised by a constant homoeothermy of around 13°C and an almost total absence of light. |
|
| Moderately halophilic bacteria grow in conditions of 5 to 20 percent salt and are found in salt brines and muds. |
|
| These drilling muds were developed for two Angolan fields located a few kilometers apart in the deepwater Gulf of Guinea. |
|
| Also known as muds, drilling fluids play a major role in borehole stability. |
|
| Discharge of oil-based drilling muds into the sea is prohibited in many regions. |
|
| Their reproduction was very sensitive to it... so that the animals really weren't even reproducing at very low concentrations of drilling muds. |
|
| Its product is used mainly in drilling muds, but also in paints and plastics. |
|
|
|
| In the case of Woodside, these muds will be dumped into the sea practically untreated thus causing severe impacts, as described before. |
|
| Such muds are natural sinks or repositories for mercury and a wide variety of other trace elements. |
|
| It can also be used for industrial mold making and as a cementing agent in oil well drilling muds. |
|
| These clastics chiefly consist of an alternation of muds, siltstones, sandstones and minor conglomerates. |
|
| Shale can be formed from organic and sulphur-rich muds that accumulated in an ancient, oxygen-poor environment. |
|
| The most common pollutant sources are waste discharges, including drilling muds, drill cuttings and produced formation water. |
|
| Coming from the port on the right, at the foot of what remains of Faraglione Piccolo, is the great pool, a reservoir brimming with water and sulphureous muds. |
|
| The phosphatized sediment crust was then broken into small fragments by heavy current activity and then redeposited and mixed in with adjacent lime muds. |
|
| Some have high zinc contents, others have more magnesium or copper and you are directed where to put the different muds on your body. |
|
| Light grey sandstones and grey to black muds occur below this depth, as weIl as a thick sedimentary sequence containing coal horizons, which indicate deposition in a warm, humid climate. |
|
| Limy muds accumulated there as sediments, and entombed the remains of the animals living on the sea-floor. |
|
| Chromatography paper is used by chemical engineers to determine simply the filterability of muds and slurries. |
|
| Use only non-toxic drilling additives and muds. |
|
| Claystones that are massive and blocky are sometimes called mudstones, but some geologists class as mudstones partly hardened muds that slake when wetted, reserving the term claystone for fully hardened material. |
|
| The pyrite and the high organic content of the shale point to the absence of oxygen in the dark muds on the sea bottom when they were deposited in the Late Ordovician, 450 million years ago. |
|
| The conventional muds become pollutants when they are disposed of, Dr Tan told Ecos. |
|
| There are some fifty companies, generally of average size, manufacturing different varieties of cosmetic preparations from the minerals, clays and muds from the Dead Sea. |
|
| The warming eventually made the deep oceans oxygen-free, allowing sulfur bacteria to emerge from the muds. |
|
| Nearsurface sediments comprise mostly terrigenous and biogenous turbiditic muds and sands with a minor presence of hemipelagic muds, except on the fault scarp where pelagites predominate. |
|
| Apparently poor as regards quantity, the bathyal muds do contain populations of deep sea shrimps and fishes that are exploited for their great commercial value. |
|
|
|
| But they are the first to show that the takeover did, indeed, happen in a geological eyeblink. A lucky strikeIn this section Footprints in the muds of time X-ray specs Closing in for the kill? |
|
| When geological deposits of mud are formed in estuaries the resultant layers are termed bay muds. |
|
| The most common types of peat application in balneotherapy are peat muds, poultices, and suspension baths. |
|
| Spas and sanatoriums have been built to take advantage of the medicinal muds found in some of the mountain lakes. |
|
| In this way ashy muds or sands or even in some cases ashy limestones are being formed. |
|
| One of desired properties for muds is the minimum fluid loss volume which can be achieved by formation of a low-permeability filter cake on the wellbore. |
|
| Indeed, as burrowing became established, it allowed an explosion of its own, for as burrowers disturbed the sea floor, they aerated it, mixing oxygen into the toxic muds. |
|
| The 3 red muds were analysed for oxalate and DCB-extractable Fe and A1, pH, EC, bic-P and by random powder XRD by the same methods used for the soils. |
|
| These islands rise above the surrounding flat land which forms the largest plain of Britain from the Jurassic system of partly consolidated clays or muds. |
|
| Muds are transported in suspension by surface waters and are widely dispersed from their source area. |
