Despite the deep erosion of the valleys, the surrounding uplands show little evidence of glaciation, suggesting that the ice was thin, or at least unable to cause much erosion at these higher altitudes.

* Wind speeds are greater at higher altitudes

The zones are the lighter bands, and are at higher altitudes in the atmosphere.

Acclimatization, the means by which the body adapts to higher altitudes, only partially restores pO < sub > 2 </ sub > to standard levels.

" The genetic difference enables highland mice to make more efficient use of their oxygen ", since less is available at higher altitudes, such as those in the mountains.

At higher altitudes the amount of oxygen ions decreases and lighter ions such as hydrogen and helium become dominant, this layer is the topside ionosphere.

The receiving stations at Elephant Butte and Hawkinsville are considered to be " High Altitude " stations with longer and more complex antenna systems that are designed to see targets at higher altitudes than the other four receiving stations.

At even higher low earth orbit altitudes atomic oxygen is a significant presence and a cause of erosion for spacecraft.

At the interior's higher altitudes, the average yearly temperature is, and nights are generally cool.

Subtropical evergreen forests resembling those of temperate climates flourish in the higher altitudes.

Flying at lower altitudes, where the air density is much higher, drag on the B-58 was significantly higher and limited its range and speed.

As an aircraft climbs to higher altitudes, the pressure of the surrounding air quickly falls off.

In aircraft engines, turbocharging is commonly used to maintain manifold pressure as altitude increases ( i. e. to compensate for lower-density air at higher altitudes ).

Ficus is a pan-tropical genus of trees, shrubs and vines occupying a wide variety of ecological niches ; most are evergreen, but some deciduous species are endemic to areas outside of the tropics and to higher elevations.

The higher elevations in the interior sections are covered with shrubs and cacti of various kinds.

Every evening they fly, often in groups and sometimes over long distances, to reach safe roosting sites such as dense trees or shrubs that impede predator movement, or, at higher latitudes, dense conifers that afford good wind protection.

The higher areas are covered in species of pemphis, thick coastal shrubs, while the lower areas which are home to the giant tortoises, are a mixture of trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses.

At higher elevations, it occurs in dense stands of low to moderate height riparian shrubs.

The range is mostly desert, but at higher altitudes it receives around 300 mm ( 12 in ) of precipitation annually, moist enough to allow the growth of shrubs and trees and support agriculture.

The coastal areas are mainly covered in scrub or shrubs, whereas the vegetation at a higher elevation consists of woodland, mainly eucalyptus species.

This can be compared to the higher altitude alpine zone, which is generally drier and is noted for the sparseness of trees ( which are generally coniferous there ) and shrubs, and the growth of thinner grasses and small flowers.

It rains enough in the area for a thick ground cover of shrubs to grow ; the change from maritime to desert climates is at a higher altitude a couple hours ' drive further east.

The eastern dunes are overgrown with the dropseed grass Sporobolus virginicus near the sea, and on the higher parts bwa matlo ( Bay Cedar, Suriana maritima ) shrubs are found.

The higher slopes facing northwest tend to be densely forested.

51. 8 % of the Government's revenue comes directly from licence fees for offshore companies, and considerable further sums are raised directly or indirectly from payroll taxes relating to salaries paid within the trust industry sector ( which tend to be higher on average than those paid in the tourism sector ).

There are two basic types of ball point pens: disposable and refillable ; disposable pens are chiefly made of plastic throughout and discarded when the ink is consumed ; refillable pens are metal and some plastic and tend to be much higher in price.

At the Master's level and higher, students tend to specialize in a particular field.

Carboxylic acids tend to have higher boiling points than water, not only because of their increased surface area, but because of their tendency to form stabilised dimers.

By quickly setting up for the next play ( often within 5 – 10 seconds after the last play despite being afforded 45 seconds ) this hindered the other team's defense from substituting situational players, regrouping for tactics, and, some suggest, increased the defense's rate of fatigue ( This is attributed to the belief that the offense dictates when a play starts so they tend to be more mentally relaxed and prepared for the start of a play where the defense must remain on a higher level of alert before the play starts ).

Said more simply, areas with a higher density and repetition of atom order tend to reflect more light toward one point in space when compared to those areas with fewer atoms and less repetition.

During the winter, sea temperatures tend to be higher than land temperatures, and vice versa during the summer months.

Soils which are rich in clay minerals tend to have lower decomposition rates, and thus, higher levels of organic matter.

Cells using water-based electrolytes are usually limited to cell potentials less than about 2. 5 volts, because the very powerful oxidizing and reducing agents which would be required to produce a higher cell potential tend to react with the water.

However, data now show that while people of East Asian origin may often have smaller bodies, they tend to have larger brains and higher IQs than average whites.

The latter tend to be thicker and higher in the collar, and faced with more resilient materials, such as leather, or heavy canvas.

These technological advances and investment allow the primary sector to require less workforce and, this way, developed countries tend to have a smaller percentage of their workforce involved in primary activities, instead having a higher percentage involved in the secondary and tertiary sectors.

Streams and rivers hinder interaction and local networks tend to develop on particular hillsides or higher ground.

Milton Friedman, Nobel economist and advocate of laissez-faire capitalism, sought to show that unionisation produces higher wages ( for the union members ) at the expense of fewer jobs, and that, if some industries are unionized while others are not, wages will tend to decline in non-unionized industries.

Also compared to Cabernet, Merlot grapes tend to have a higher sugar content and lower malic acid.

Among more common minerals, oxides and sulfides tend to have a higher specific gravity as they include elements with higher atomic mass.

A generalization is that minerals with metallic or adamantine lustre tend to have higher specific gravities than those having a non-metallic to dull lustre.

Memes, analogously to genes, vary in their aptitude to replicate ; memes that are good at getting themselves copied tend to spread and remain, whereas the less good ones have a higher probability of being ignored and forgotten.

Lower end microcontrollers tend to support fewer interrupt latency controls than higher end ones.

However, the relevance of this observation to bone density is unclear, since higher protein diets tend to increase absorption of calcium from the diet and are associated with higher bone density.
