Erosion by an Alpine glacier.
Assessing the impact of glaciation on Earth's surface requires understanding glacial erosion processes. Developing erosion theories is challenging because of the complex nature of the erosion processes and the difficulty of examining the ice/bedrock interface of contemporary glaciers. We demonstrate that the glacial erosion rate is proportional to the ice-sliding velocity squared, by quantifyin...
متن کاملErosion, burial, and exhumation at Ganges Mensa, Mars
Ross A. Beyer, NASA Ames Research Center, MS 245-3, Moffett Field, CA, USA ([email protected]) Ganges Mensa is a large mesa-like structure located near 311 E, 7.5 S on Mars within the Ganges Chasma. The slopes and surfaces of Ganges Mensa display a variety of morphologies, indicating that units of variable lithology constitute the stratigraphic stack of the mensa as observed by many previous ...
متن کاملOn the causes and modes of exhumation and lateral growth of the Alps
[1] A compilation of the apatite and zircon fission track ages of the Alpine chain points to markedly different patterns of cooling and exhumation of the Eastern Alps compared to the central andWestern Alps. The site of exhumation and shortening in the Western Alps migrated outward, whereas it was more stationary in the Eastern Alps, where it created a narrower metamorphic belt. A correlation o...
متن کاملResponse of a steady-state critical wedge orogen to changes in climate and tectonic forcing
The theories of critical orogenic wedges and fluvial erosion are combined to explore the interactions between tectonics, erosion, and climate. A model framework is developed which allows the derivation of an exact analytical scaling relationship for how orogen width, height, and rock uplift rate vary as a function of accretionary flux and precipitation rate. Compared to a model with prescribed ...
متن کاملRelating two width measures for resolution proofs
A clause is a disjunction of literals. We use set notation; a set of literals denotes the clause that is their disjunction. The empty clause is denoted by . The width of a clause C, denoted |C|, is the number of literals in it. The width of a CNF formula F , denoted width(F ), is the maximum width of any clause in F . For a partial assignment ρ, C|ρ denotes the restriction of the clause C by ap...
