The terrain is low-lying and sandy: a coral island surrounded by a narrow fringing reef with a depressed central area devoid of a lagoon with its highest point being above sea level.

The narrow fringing reef surrounding the island can be a maritime hazard, so there is a day beacon near the old village site.

Wood from the huts was used for firewood, and fish caught off the fringing reef combined with some potatoes and onions they had saved from their sinking vessel to augment the island's meager ( as it turned out ) supply of coconuts.

This fringing seaward reef shelf comprises an area of approximately 13. 61 square miles ( 35. 2 km < sup > 2 </ sup >).

It is surrounded by coral beaches and a fringing reef and encloses a mangrove lagoon of around 9 km².

The terrain is low-lying and sandy: a coral island surrounded by a narrow fringing reef with a slightly raised central area.

The low-lying coral island has long been noted as hard to sight from small ships and is surrounded by a narrow fringing reef.

With the loss of the natural vegetation, the balance in runoff nutrients to the reef was disturbed, eventually causing as much as 80 percent of the large eastern fringing reef to become inactive.

He reasoned that a fringing coral reef surrounding a volcanic island in the tropical sea will grow upwards as the island subsides ( sinks ), becoming an " almost atoll ", or barrier reef island, as typified by an island such as Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, Bora Bora and others in the Society Islands.

The fringing reef becomes a barrier reef for the reason that the outer part of the reef maintains itself near sea level through biotic growth, while the inner part of the reef falls behind, becoming a lagoon because conditions are less favorable for the coral and calcareous algae responsible for most reef growth.

File: Atoll forming-Fringing reef. png | As the island and ocean floor subside, coral growth builds a fringing reef, often including a shallow lagoon between the land and the main reef

File: Atoll forming-Barrier reef. png | As the subsidence continues the fringing reef becomes a larger barrier reef farther from the shore with a bigger and deeper lagoon inside

It starts with a fringing reef forming around an extinct volcanic island as the island and ocean floor subsides.

As the subsidence continues, the fringing reef becomes a barrier reef, and ultimately an atoll reef.

In this magnified view, it becomes clear that, while the overall smoothness of the text seems to improve, there is also color fringing of the text.

This opinion is shared by the font designer Thomas Phinney, program manager for fonts and core technologies at Adobe Systems: " There is also considerable variation between individuals in their sensitivity to color fringing.

The reason for this high quality processing is: provide proper realistic up / downsampling of images, and photorealistic display regardless of the monitor gamma, without colour fringing caused by 8-bit gamma correction built into the X server.

From north to south the East European Plain, also known as Russian Plain, is clad sequentially in Arctic tundra, coniferous forest ( taiga ), mixed and broad-leaf forests, grassland ( steppe ), and semi-desert ( fringing the Caspian Sea ), as the changes in vegetation reflect the changes in climate.

( Normally, a sea baseline follows the low-water line, but when the coastline is deeply indented, has fringing islands or is highly unstable, straight baselines may be used.

Zanzibar is characterised by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs and the historic Stone Town – said to be the only functioning ancient town in East Africa.

Where the bottom is rising, fringing reefs can grow around the coast, but coral raised above sea level dies and becomes white limestone.

The word Yanchep is derived from Yandjip or Yanget which is the aboriginal name for the local bulrush reed found fringing the lakes in the area.

The equation is a good approximation if d is small compared to the other dimensions of the plates so the field in the capacitor over most of its area is uniform, and the so-called fringing field around the periphery provides a small contribution.

The coast is bordered by fringing reefs and many fine beaches.

Minami-Tori-Shima is surrounded by a fringing reef which ranges from in width, enclosing a shallow lagoon, which is connected with the open ocean by narrow passages on the southern and northeastern sides.

The Gadwall is a bird of open wetlands, such as prairie or steppe lakes, wet grassland or marshes with dense fringing vegetation, and usually feeds by dabbling for plant food with head submerged.

When the mirror above the lens is moved too high or too low, it moves out of the best focal distance for an evenly white image, resulting in a projected image with either blue or brown color fringing around the outside edge of the screen.

There are some islands located at a distance between 50 meters and 2 kilometers from the main island, but still within the fringing reef:

Although the projection of Biocolour prints did provide a tolerable illusion of true colour, it suffered from noticeable flickering and red and green fringing when the subject was in rapid motion.

File: Atoll forming-Barrier reef. png | As the subsidence continues, the fringing reef becomes a larger barrier reef further from the shore with a bigger and deeper lagoon inside.

Where the level of the underlying earth allows, the corals grow around the coast to form what he called fringing reefs, and can eventually grow out from the shore to become a barrier reef.

* Apron reef – a short reef resembling a fringing reef, but more sloped ; extending out and downward from a point or peninsular shore

First, because the strength of the field varies from point to point in a complicated way, particularly outside the core and in air gaps, where fringing fields and leakage flux must be considered.

Jones and others measured eddy covariance from a stand of Cyperus papyrus, which formed a fringing swamp on the north-west shore of Lake Naivasha, Kenya.

Kosrae International Airport ( IATA code KSA ) is located on an artificial island within the fringing reef about 150 meters from the coast and is connected to the main island by a causeway.

Note the continuous reef fringing Addu from the west and southwest.

The Larsen Ice Shelf is a long, fringing ice shelf in the northwest part of the Weddell Sea, extending along the east coast of Antarctic Peninsula from Cape Longing to the area just southward of Hearst Island.

The hills fringing the south and east of the lake are made up of Rhyolite from Haroharo and Tarawera, and this has meant that Lake Rotoma has no surface outlets.

Gan lies at the end of the continuous reef fringing Addu from the west and southwest.

Also, the process suffered from " fringing " and " haloing " of the images, an insoluble problem as long as Kinemacolor remained a successive frame process.

Astrometry is understood by precisely measuring delay line additions while fringing, to match the light path differences from baseline ends.

Note the continuous reef fringing Addu from the west and southwest.
