    They range in size from Grammanoides opisthodon which measures just 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in length, to Lamprogrammus shcherbachevi at 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length. [ 4 ] The families Ranicipitidae ( tadpole cods ) and Euclichthyidae ( eucla cods ) were formerly classified in this order, but are now preferred in Gadiformes ; Ranicipitidae has ...

    According to the US Geological Survey, there are 5 steps to manual watershed delineation: [6] Find the point of interest along a stream on the map. This is the "watershed outlet" or "pour point." Imagine or draw surface water flow lines that point downhill perpendicular to the topographic contours (this is the steepest direction).

Also, one side of a water beetle leg is wider than the others and is held perpendicular to the motion when pushing backward, but the leg rotates when the limb returns ...

    Figure 5: Series of roll waves moving down a spillway, where they terminate in a stationary hydraulic jump. Another variation of the moving hydraulic jump is the cascade. In the cascade, a series of roll waves or undulating waves of water moves downstream overtaking a shallower downstream flow of water. A moving hydraulic jump is called a surge.
