With the exception of fluorine, whose hydride forms hydrogen bonds and is therefore of relatively low volatility, these elements have had their concentrations on Earth significantly reduced through escape of volatile hydrides during the Earth's formation.

The river is a relatively recent geological formation, formed by the advance and retreat of ice sheets during the last ice age.

It is especially important for sea level to remain relatively unchanged during barrier island formation and growth.

Following the rapid change from a loose formation to a rigid line of battle both fleets raised their colours ; each British ship added additional Union Flags in its rigging in case its main flag was shot away.

The surface of a glass is often smooth since during glass formation the molecules of the supercooled liquid are not forced to dispose in rigid crystal geometries and can follow surface tension, which imposes a microscopically smooth surface.

While not burdened with a specific, rigid formation, the system relied on extremely versatile players who were able to fill in at any position the circumstances of the game required them to.

Single-issue politics may express itself through the formation of a single-issue party, an approach that tends to be more successful in parliamentary systems based on proportional representation than in rigid two-party systems ( like that of the United States ).

His education was princely, inclined mostly towards the Classical studies and a rigid military formation ; he frequented the main Courts of Europe, where he was able to familiarize with the foreign languages ( German and English ), which also contributed to his diplomatic formation.

This foundation had much significance for the area, including the loss of its cultural identity due to the imposition of a dominant culture, as well as the formation of rigid structures of injustice against indigenous rights.

Granuloma formation is initiated by antigens secreted by the miracidium through microscopic pores within the rigid egg shell, and there is strong evidence that the vigorous granulomatous response, rather than the direct action of parasite egg antigens, is responsible for the pathologic tissue manifestations in schistosomiasis.

This flexible formation allowed the pilots to maintain greater situational awareness, and the two Rotten could split up at any time and attack on their own.

A second consequence of the presence of the 2 '- hydroxyl group is that in conformationally flexible regions of an RNA molecule ( that is, not involved in formation of a double helix ), it can chemically attack the adjacent phosphodiester bond to cleave the backbone.

The Tercio deployed smaller numbers of pikemen than the huge Swiss and Landsknecht columns, and their formation ultimately proved to be much more flexible on the battlefield.

The phalanx, though very powerful head on, was not as flexible as the Roman manipular formation.

It was far more flexible than the solidly massed hoplite formation, allowing the army to maneuver better on rugged terrain.

This spread moored ( fixed orientation ) vessel uses 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm bore DeepFlex non-steel flexible risers in a double lazy wave formation ( with weights and distributed buoyancy ) to accommodate the large motion offsets in an environment of extreme waves and currents.

Conchiolin serves as a relatively flexible, crack-deflecting matrix for the mineral aggregate particles ; its strength and the strong bonding of perlucin can in some cases ( such as in the formation of nacre ) give the finished material an impressive level of toughness.

In flexible structures, five-membered ring formation is preferred to six-membered ring formation.

Before the formation of the Roman Republic, the Romans had originally employed the phalanx themselves, but gradually evolved more flexible tactics resulting in the three-line Roman legion of the middle period of the Roman Republic.
