peer agreement (net): +2location on a fluvial terrace Explanation: I hope I've got the geology and register right. Ein Hochufer ist ein Steilhang der die Niederterrasse (volksmündlich Hochgestade ) scharf von der Niederung trennt. Die bildende Kraft ist oder war hierbei ein Fluss wie beispielsweise der Rhein . http://www.uni-protokolle.de/Lexikon/Hochufer.html Flussterrassen entstehen durch den fluviatilen Transport von Gesteinstrümmern und die darauffolgende Ablagerung als zusammenhängende Sedimentschichten auf einer oder beiden Seiten des Flusses aufgrund der abnehmenden Transportkraft des Flusses im Flussverlauf. Wenn diese Schotter-, Sand- und Tonablagerungen aufgrund von klimatischen Gründen abnehmen, wie etwa in den Warmzeiten des aktuellen Eiszeitalters, schneiden sich die Flüsse in die Flussablagerungen ein und formen Terrassen (Hochufer), manchmal auch als Hochgestade bezeichnet. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flussterrasse Fluvial terraces are elongated terraces that flank the sides of floodplains and fluvial valleys all over the world. They consist of a relatively level strip of land, called a “tread,” separated from either an adjacent floodplain, other fluvial terraces, or uplands by distinctly steeper strips of land called “risers.” These terraces lie parallel to and above the river channel and its floodplain. Because of the manner in which they form, fluvial terraces are underlain by fluvial sediments of highly variable thickness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluvial_terrace -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 46 mins (2012-02-25 13:13:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Struemp is located in the Center of Meerbusch surrounded by all other districts. Its entire municipal area is situated on a fluvial terrace of the Lower Rhine region and therefore very flat. The so called Strümper Berg rises barely higher than the surrounding area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strümp The castle, located on a fluvial terrace which rises 50 metres above the river at its highest point, was a key element in controlling the course of the river and the Falset-Gandesa road. http://www.batallaebre.org/english/castellmora.php The remains of the Roman town of Mevaniola are situated on a fluvial terrace to the north of the village of Pianetto. http://www.turismoforlivese.it/servizi/menu/dinamica.aspx?ID... |
