Gates were always specially protected and designed, built as guarded approaches, deafened by earth and water, scarps, counterscarps, moats. |
|
Along these scarps, the earth stood between nine and twenty-one feet higher on one side than on the other. |
|
Development of pillow breccia probably occurred along the scarps of normal faults in this extensional setting. |
|
These have produced scarps with vertical cliff faces up to 800 meters high. |
|
Its profile may show anything from a rather gentle concave upward curve to a series of complex scarps and sediment-filled basins. |
|
The eastward-facing horseshoe-shaped scarps of South Soufriere Hills volcano pose an unresolved problem. |
|
These scarps have evidently been produced by toe-cutting by axial Big Lost River channels. |
|
The structural discontinuity between the shield and the horizontal lavas filling the embayment corresponds to the eroded scarps of the landslide. |
|
They have created box canyons and saguaro forests, dry riverbeds and sudden wildflowers, crystal-filled caves and overhanging scarps. |
|
This basin is emphasized by normal fault scarps that face the river from its SW bank. |
|
He developed a hypothesis for their formation called pediplanation in which slopes retreat parallel, leaving behind a series of generally flat surfaces separated by scarps. |
|
The survey also revealed other visible evidence of the earthquake, including clearly developed scarps and cracks where the faults pass beneath glaciers. |
|
In contrast, close to the FTFZ the terrain is more rugged and adorned with short, oblique fault scarps. |
