Tectonics, fracturing of rock, and erosion
[1] We argue that by fracturing rock, not by raising it relative to base level, tectonics plays its most important role in causing rapid incision of valleys and rapid erosion of hillslopes. Tectonic deformation riddles the upper crust with fractures, which not only provide avenues for water flow and thus promote weathering and further disintegration of rock but also fragment bedrock into debris...
متن کاملStability and erosion of melt layers
Melting of metallic plasma facing components such as tungsten (W) divertor, macroscopic melt motion, and melt splashing due to edge localized modes and plasma disruptions is a major concern in fusion devices such as ITER. The viscous stability analysis and computational modelling of coupled W-melt-plasma flows are performed using the developed volume-of-fluid magnetohydrodynamic code. The effec...
متن کاملSlow Rates of Rock Surface Erosion and Sediment Production across the Namib Desert and Escarpment, Southern Africa
Slow erosion has characterized the Namib Desert, the Namibian escarpment, and the adjacent Namibian highlands over the Pleistocene. Paired analyses (n566) of in-situ-produced Be and Al in quartz-bearing samples of bedrock primarily from inselbergs, of sediment from dry river and stream channels, and of clasts from desert surfaces reveal large inventories of these cosmogenic nuclides indicating ...
متن کاملFuzzy identification of rock layers with anomalous pressure
The process of borehole drilling is a nonlinear and many dimensional process. During drilling it is possible occurrence of some complications (for example transition of drilling tool in layer with anomalous pressure). New method of identification of rock layers with anomalous pressure was proposed and tested on real plant data.
متن کاملClimate change, flooding in arid environments, and erosion rates
Although regional climates throughout much of the world appear to have become more arid in late Cenozoic time, sedimentation rates, and therefore presumably erosion rates, have increased. For sustained erosion of elevated terrain, at least where glaciers are not the major erosive agent, rivers must incise. Therefore bed-load transport by rivers should be a rate-limiting process in erosion. Theo...
