...Figure 1 Shoreline change map of Cotton Patch Hill, Delaware, illustrating shoreline movements between 1845–1997. The map depicts the cyclical erosion and accretion of the beach associated with large coastal storms (1929, 1962, and 1992) and beach recovery. ...

...Figure 9. Beach profiles at Cotton Patch Hill, Delaware, during 1952, 1964, 1982, and 1991. Note that the dune that existed in 1952 was destroyed by the Ash Wednesday storm of 1962. Recovery of the dune is evident, but was not completed by 1982. ...

... with a high humidity atmosphere (relative humidity >80%). In contact with air of low to moderate humidity, mirabilite rapidly dehydrates to thenardite ( Hill and Forti, 1997 ; White, 1997 ). Mirabilite was usually reported from the cave environment either as mono-mineralic crusts, cotton, flowers...

... soils of the western part of the basin are predominated by the presence of kaolinite group of clay minerals. Formation of these soils has been attributed to free drainage and high rainfall conditions. On the other hand, grayish-black coloured margalithic or black cotton soils showing predominance...

Wald No~hridgeEa~hquake The stress drop in the patches of high slip in these ki- nematic models is usually spread out over most of the du- 1.5 km ration of slip, rather than occurring abruptly...

... of the 2008 Iwate–Miyagi, Japan, earthquake. The slip distribution is characterized by a large slip patch extending from the hypocenter to the southern shallow part of the fault plane, with a maximum amplitude of 6 m. In addition, a relatively smaller asperity is located in the north shallow part of the fault...

... studies. For various events the area of the fault that contributes to the formation of the near-fault pulse encompasses more than one patch of significant moment release (subevent) (e.g., 1979 Imperial Valley, 1989 Loma Prieta). This observation explains why a dislocation model with average properties...

... of the Upper Cotton Valley formation. The microearthquakes were induced within narrow horizontal bands that correspond to the targeted sandstone layers. Events throughout all the treatments show strike-slip faulting occurring uniformly along vertical fractures trending close to maximum horizontal stress...

...) displacement seismograms and Global Positioning System static coseismic displacement vectors. The inversion reveals little slip near the hypocenter (<0.5 m) and significant slip distributed over an area of ∼ 184 km 2 , with the large slip patches in the northeast part of the fault. The estimated average...

... terrane flat-slab subduction, which reaches rates of up to ~46 mm/yr ( Elliott and Freymueller, 2019 ), is accommodated via underthrusting in northwestern Yakutat Bay along the Esker Creek, Bancas Point, and Chaix Hills faults ( Figs. 1 and 2 ; e.g., Chapman et al., 2012 ; Cotton et al., 2014...

... -source model with M 0 = 6.0 × 10 25 dyne cm and a stress drop of 360 bar. We find that high-frequency ground motion ( f > 3 Hz), which is related to A max during inslab earthquakes, is not amplified at Ciudad Universitaria (CU), a hill-zone site in the Valley of Mexico that is known to suffer...

....' He inferred that' the hills on the plateau owe their form to marine action, it being a well established fact that rounded hills and an undulating country, are invariably the results of such action.' Since Blanford's times geomorphic concepts have changed and it is now generally believed that most...

... on the northwestern side of Elbolton Hill contain the goniatites Bollandoceras micronotum , Beyrichoceras rectangularum and Goniatites globostriatus of the B 2b subzone ( Hudson & Cotton 1944 ). Lowstand flank deposits of the P 1a subzone include the guide goniatites Beyrichoceratoides truncatum...

.... , 2014 ). This fault is well topographically marked, with a 500‐m‐high hill, limiting the extension of the city at the east of Quito (Fig.  2 ). It is recognized that this hill does not have a regular shape, suggesting that the Quito fault is divided into several segments ( Alvarado et al. , 2014...

.... On the inner side of the reef the passage to the shelf rocks is as usual a gradual one. On the basin side it is more abrupt, but tongues of reef or semi-reef rock project into the basin, and isolated patches are found constituting an outer reef facies, brecciated in part. In the Weaver Hills area...
