| If the seacock for the engine intake is left open, the boat sinks when the ice thaws. |
|
| And then there are the silver thaws, we had one that lasted for weeks when I was a kid! |
|
| The plants' cell walls will thicken, which helps keep them from bursting during freezes and thaws. |
|
| Finally, the stability of these waste structures may deteriorate if permafrost thaws with time. |
|
| The meat, once distributed to vendors in Haiti, quickly thaws because of the lack of refrigeration and electricity. |
|
| As in the other Atlantic provinces, ice jams have contributed destructively during winter thaws and the spring freshet. |
|
| Dog sleds and snowmobile tracks require minimal snowfall, or else thaws could create dangerous icy conditions. |
|
| The extreme temperatures of Ottawa's winter and spring thaws had damaged the masonry. As a result, pieces of stone were falling off. |
|
| Between the permafrost and the surface is an active layer which thaws in summer and freezes in winter. |
|
| Contribute to Canadian climate change research by helping to record and analyze when ice forms and thaws on bodies of water. |
|
| I did that several times and everyting thaws quite fast in a pan heated at medium. |
|
| If the ice thaws, the rocks may start to move, so encouraging mud flows and landslides. |
|
| Loons arrive in pairs on northern lakes in the spring as soon as the ice thaws. |
|
| Water seeps in and freezes, forcing the cracks wider, then thaws, washing out the debris. |
|
| These floods generally occur in the spring but will also occur during sudden winter thaws. |
|
| The emissions of frozen CO2 and the tundra around the Arctic Ocean have already begun as it thaws. |
|
| When it thaws in the spring, the water runs off, and you're left with a material much like you see in the bottom right picture. |
|
| Midwinter thaws accompanied by rainfall may cause breakup of the ice cover, leading to ice jams. |
|
| Midwinter thaws are often accompanied by substantial rainfall, resulting in a rapid increase in water levels and severe ice jams. |
|
| Methane being released as permafrost thaws and melting ice meaning less solar energy reflected back into space are two examples. |
|
|
|
| As the permafrost thaws, bacteria start chewing up the organic matter it contains. |
|
| So is that of Arctic herders, such as the Sami of Russia and Scandinavia, whose reindeer populations are crashing as the tundra thaws. |
|
| When this material thaws, its consolidation may disrupt the ground leading to erosion and sediment release. |
|
| As the snow and ice thaws, this toxic mercury seeps into the ocean. |
|
| Yet as the market thaws, agency bosses face challengers on two fronts. |
|
| For example, mining tailings that have been stored in previously frozen permafrost are at risk of contaminating soil and water as the ground thaws. |
|
| In temperate glaciers, snow repeatedly freezes and thaws, changing into granular ice called firn. |
|
| Severe flood conditions associated with ice jamming generally occur in spring breakup, and occasionally in midwinter thaws during January to March. |
|
| As the permafrost thaws as a result of global warming, the fate of the carbon contained therein is of major concern in view of the potential for increased emissions of greenhouse gases. |
|
| However, it is not primarily high summer temperatures which determine whether the ground thaws, but instead mainly the preceding winter's snowfall. |
|
| The demonstration facilities will enable property owners and other stakeholders to observe the advantages of structures that reduce the risk of leaching and erosion during heavy rainfall and spring thaws. |
|
| First-year ice, in contrast, is unscarred by time. When multi-year ice thaws, the meltwater gathers on its surface, forming ponds between the ridges. |
|
| Since the mid-1980s, teamteam reported, earlier spring thaws have led to drier forests, which have combined with warmer, drier summers to make fires bigger and more common. |
|
| Congelifraction occurs in mountains where frosts and thaws alternate. |
|
| The snow on the Southern side of the Alps melts and thaws to a greater or lesser extent during the course of the day, and then refreezes at night. |
