Because of the mild winter weather, and despite the extreme heat in the summer, the agricultural economy continues to boom in the area.

Because many of the suggested distinguishing features of humanity — extreme intelligence ; highly complex language ; etc .— are not present in marginal cases such as young or mentally disabled humans, it appears that the only distinction is a prejudice based on species alone, which animal-rights supporters call speciesism — that is, differentiating humans from other animals purely on the grounds that they are human.

Because of their extreme masses they have short lifespans of 30 million years down to a few hundred thousand years ( by the calculation M < sup >- 2. 5 </ sup > × 10 < sup > 10 </ sup > where M = mass in sols ).

Because all the aspects in a Grand Cross are considered difficult aspects, the Grand Cross is seen as a source of extreme tension whereby various aspects of the personality ( represented by the planets ) are working at cross purposes that serve to nullify each other.

Because of the extreme nature of the planetoid, just about any aspect it makes is going to be considered hard because it forces the native to look closely at his life, make appropriate changes, or risk losing that which is important to him.

Because of their extremely steep terrain ( often located in summer at ski resorts ), downhill courses are one of the most extreme and dangerous venues for mountain biking.

Because of this he can survive moments of extreme duress, and demonstrated this ability on numerous occasions ; once by falling 4000 feet, crashing through the concrete into a subway tunnel and subsequently being hit by an oncoming train, surviving without incident (" Evil Sits Down for a Moment ," November 4, 1995 ).

Because the ceramic is so brittle the entrance channel of a shaped charge jet is not smooth — as it would be when penetrating a metal — but ragged, causing extreme asymmetric pressures which disturb the geometry of the jet, on which its penetrative capabilities are critically dependent as its mass is relatively low.

Because of decreased demand, most extreme paper grades are now discontinued, and the few graded ranges still available include only middle contrast grades.

Because so many species within this genus are so deadly toxic, if a specimen is identified incorrectly, consumption may cause extreme sickness and possibly death.

Because of the extreme hardiness of the species, it is sometimes the only species found in severely polluted and oxygen-deprived streams, such as the Elizabeth River in Virginia, and the Hackensack River and the Arthur Kill in New Jersey during the height of the water pollution problem in the United States.

Because of the extreme nature of many of these wounds and the grafting and debridement that accompanies such a treatment, a burn center's wound clinic, which has staff trained in such wounds, may be utilized.

Because of their extreme masses they have relatively short lifespans and are mainly observed in young cosmic structures such as open clusters, the arms of spiral galaxies, and in irregular galaxies.

Because of the extreme cost, lackluster pay, fame and prestige that surrounded the hussars, almost all of them were members of the upper level nobility ( szlachta ).

Because of this offset, a portion of the gravitational pull between Earth's tidal bulges and the Moon is perpendicular to the Earth – Moon line, i. e. there exists a torque between the Earth and the Moon.

Because the tidal speed doubles, eight times more tidal power is produced during spring tides than at neaps.

Because the river is tidal from Teddington weir all the way through London, this is only a problem at high tide, which prevents the floodwater from escaping out to sea.

Because of concerns about climate change, a major project in 2010 and 2011 brought improvements to the banks around the freshwater lagoon and the conversion of the brackish lagoon to tidal saltmarsh, a more effective barrier to encroachment by the sea.

Because of the large harbour area and narrow mouth between the Manukau Heads, tidal flow is rapid and a bar at the mouth makes navigating in or out of the harbour dangerous.

Because the Earth's tides are ultimately due to gravitational interaction with the Moon and Sun and the Earth's rotation, tidal power is practically inexhaustible and classified as a renewable energy resource.

Because the strait has such unusual tidal conditions, coupled with very low wave heights because of its sheltered position, it presents a unique and diverse benthic ecology.

Because these areas provide a shelter from oceanic currents, these zones share many invertebrate species with the onshore tidal zone.

Because the Puppeteers seemingly have no experience of tides, they were unable to anticipate the deadly tidal forces.

Because of this gap, there are strong tidal currents.

Because of the mystique surrounding tidal islands many of them have been sites of religious worship, such as Mont Saint-Michel with its Benedictine Abbey.

Because of large tidal flows through the relatively narrow channel from the bay to the ocean, and a high rocky seabed, The Rip has claimed many ships and lives.

Because of the high pressures and seclusion neither tidal changes nor human impacts have had much of an effect on these areas, and the habitats have not changed much over the years.

Because the river system was tidal as far as Hackney Wick, several of the mills were tide mills, including those at Abbey Mills and those at Three Mills, one of which survives.

Because of the extreme tidal range there are very strong currents or rips close inshore to the point with speeds that exceed 7 knots ( 13 km / h ) for several hours at each tide.

Because the sound is long, and in places narrow, the tidal currents are fairly strong.

Because tidal forces would tend to circularise the orbit of the planet on short timescales, this suggested that Gliese 436 b is being perturbed by an additional planet orbiting the star.

Because of the tidal nature of the Savick Brook, it was decided at the early stages of planning that the link would be designed for one way operation.

Because ordinary tidal clocks only track a part of the tidal effect, and because the relative size of the combined effects is different in different places, they are in general only partially accurate for tracking the tides.
