Denudation rates are usually much lower than the rates of uplift and average orogeny rates can be eight times the maximum average denudation. [24] The only areas at which there could be equal rates of denudation and uplift are active plate margins with an extended period of continuous deformation. [25] Denudation is measured in catchment-scale ...
Exhumation by tectonic processes refers to any geological mechanism that brings rocks from deeper crustal levels to shallower crustal levels. While erosion or denudation is fundamental in eventually exposing these deeper rocks at the Earth's surface, the geological phenomenon that drive the rocks to shallower crust are still considered exhumation processes.
Dissolved load comprises a significant portion of the total material flux out of a landscape, and its composition is important in regulating the chemistry and biology of the stream water. The dissolved load is primarily controlled by the rate of chemical weathering, which depends on climate and weather conditions such as moisture and ...
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that applies approaches and methods traditionally used in physics to study biological phenomena. [1] [2] [3] Biophysics covers all scales of biological organization, from molecular to organismic and populations.
Ablation near the electrode in a flashtube.The high-energy electrical arc slowly erodes the glass, leaving a frosted appearance. Ablation (Latin: ablatio – removal) is the removal or destruction of something from an object by vaporization, chipping, erosive processes, or by other means.
Denudation chronology is the study of the long-term evolution of topography seen as sequence. Denudation chronology revolves around episodes of landscape-wide erosion , better known as denudation . The cycle of erosion model is a common approach used to establish denudation chronologies.
Heart rate, ventilatory rate, and ventilatory exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide can indicate exercise intensity, but each of these can be confounded by effects independent of exercise intensity, and they are probably also mainly proxies for perfusion. Even if the data could be easily collected, it is not known how it would be usefully used.
For first order desorption, the activation energy is estimated from the temperature (T p) at which the desorption rate is a maximum. Using the equation for rate of desorption (Polyani Winer equation), one can find T p, and Redhead shows that the relationship between T p and E can be approximated to be linear, given that the ratio of the rate ...
