5 days ago · The antecedent topography proxy (Figure 4a, left side) shows that as craters increase in overlap, the young rim forms deeper into the antecedent basin, with the least overlapping craters (Figure 4, δ = 0.75 R a) forming their rims fully within the terrace zone of the antecedent craters. In such cases, we would not expect to see a rim elevation difference equal to the depth of the antecedent ...
1 day ago · By compositing all NSCS eddies on the slope and in the basin, a more pronounced southwestward tilt in slope eddies is found from the sea surface down to the deep, compared to basin eddies. The tilt distance of slope eddies is approximately 1.8 times that of basin eddies, with the strongest eddy tilt near the Dongsha Islands.
3 hours ago · The topography is able to influence the track and development of many weather systems, leading to marked gradients in rainfall and vegetation across southern Africa.The presence of the large island of Madagascar, itself a region of strong topographic and rainfall gradients, has consequences for the climate of the mainland by reducing the impact of the moist trade winds on the Mozambique coast ...
3 days ago · Climate change exacerbates the frequency and severity of hydro-climatic extremes, such as floods and droughts, intensifying hydrological cycles worldwide (Cooley et al., 2021; Kuang et al., 2024). These alterations in climatological and hydrological patterns disrupt water and sediment regimes, including extremely high and low yields, and ...
5 days ago · Geomorphology is literally the study of the form or shape of the Earth, but it deals principally with the topographical features of the Earth’s surface. It is concerned with the classification, description, and origin of landforms. The configuration of the Earth’s surface reflects to some degree virtually all of the processes that take ...
3 days ago · According to the topography between the Sichuan Basin and its surrounding orogenic belts, as well as the deep and frontal structural characteristics and dynamic formation mechanisms of the basin, the basin-mountain structure is categorized into five types (Liu et al., 2021): linearly abrupt margin-plate systems in the northern (I) and western (II) sectors, diffusely gradual interior-plate ...
5 days ago · Tectonic plates are composed of the oceanic lithosphere and the thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. Along convergent plate boundaries, the process of subduction carries the edge of one plate down under the other plate and into the mantle.
