Sentences with phrase «less surface flow»

Researchers at the university of Kentucky recently concluded: «there is a clear risk of increased flooding (greater runoff production and less surface flow detention) following [mountaintop removal and valley fill] operations.»

Not exact matches

The CO2 goes down, pressure goes up and less viscous oil flows back to the surface, ready to be sold.

They found that although the slab is sinking at a rate of less than 1 cm per year, this slow sinking generates a downward flow in the mantle that is sufficient to pull down the Earth's surface and create these huge basins.

On the other hand, if the ice shell is sufficiently thick, the less intense interior heat can be transferred to warmer ice at the bottom of the shell, with additional heat generated by tidal flexing of the warmer ice which can slowly rise and flow as do glaciers do on Earth; this slow but steady motion may also disrupt the extremely cold, brittle ice at the surface to produce the chaos regions.

Considering that ferropericlase is much less viscous, or resistant to flowing, hot, yet solid, mantle rock would flow more easily, possibly having profound effects on volcanism and tectonics at the planetary surface, processes which have a significant impact on the habitability of Earth.

There's less of the blatant copy and pasting of assets evident in Milestone's WRC games which gives them a more natural flow, and unlike previous games in the series you can feel a tangible difference in traction across the various surface types when your tyres are treated to tarmac, gravel, sand or snow.

(That last reference, according to the news release, is more or less how these paintings begin; Mr. Peterson «plots the relationships between color, mood, scale, weight, surface tension and directional flow,» before cutting the wood and assembling and painting it by hand.)

A slicker surface provides less «grip» for paint and allows a more natural flow.»

If DLR increases, less heat flows from the depth to the surface.

These stem from a diversity of site - specific conditions, including, but not limited to: local vegetation; presence of building structures and contributions made by such structures involving energy use, heating and air conditioning, etc; exposure to winds, the wind velocities determined by climatic factors and also whether certain wind directions are more favored than others by terrain or the presence or absence thereof to bodies of water; proximity to grass, asphalt, concrete or other material surfaces; the physical conditions of the CRS itself which include: the exact location of the temperature sensors within it, the degree of unimpeded flow of external air through the CRS, the character of the paint used; the exact height of the instrument above the external surface (noting that when the ground is covered by 3 feet of snow, the temperature instrument is about 60 % closer to, or less than 2 feet, above an excellent radiating surface, much closer than it would be under snow - free conditions).

The details of heat flow into the ocean is much harder to measure than surface temperature and the details of it much less well understood.

, when volumes of air are heated they expand and now lighter than air rise taking away heat from the surface, and colder volumes of air, of the fluid gas air around them, being heavier because colder so more condensed will sink to the surface flowing beneath the volumes of less dense air.

It is just that (for a given earth surface temperature) the heat flow away from the earth is less than it would be if the (IR - absorbing) atmosphere were not present.

«Joel Shore said on Visualizing the «Greenhouse Effect» — Light and Heat May 13, 2011 at 6:52 pm «It is just that (for a given earth surface temperature) the heat flow away from the earth is less than it would be if the (IR - absorbing) atmosphere were not present.

Many keyposts at RC across the past year address a declining proportion of the radiative imbalance which may be flowing to the surface and air, compared with a Pacific which has been more prone to ENSO behavior characterized by fewer and less intense El Ninos, or a protracted quasi-La Nina bias.

Both a glass greenhouse and an atmospheric greenhouse lead to higher surface temperatures by blocking a flow of heat upwards, while having much less effect on the heat flow downwards.

I strongly believe that the surface temperature of the passive sphere will be less than the surface temperature of the active sphere; and energy will flow via radiation from the active to the passive sphere.
