(1) A brief history of the district, derivation of its name, physiography and details about its flora and fauna have been given.(2) Moreover, other changes in South American physiography followed the uplift of the Andes, including formation of the modern river basins.(3) Several nice color maps of the geology, vegetation, and physiography of the state are provided in this chapter.(4) Ironically, human geography did indeed rise in importance as a result of his efforts, ultimately eclipsing his own brand of man-land relationships and the science of physiography that he advocated but hardly ever practised.(5) A series of compressional and extensional tectonic events created the present geologic structure and physiography .(6) This process is an important control in determining patterns of wetland establishment and subsequent internal physiographical evolution and biogeochemical processes.(7) The Municipio of Alamos lies in southeast Sonora, within the physiographic provinces of the Sierra Madre Occidental and the arid western coastal plains of the state of Sonora.(8) u2018The geological u2018terraneu2019 is not to be confused with u2018terrainu2019 (a physiographical feature).(9) Foothills composed of Precambrian schists and gneisses lie west of the hogbacks, and the Great Plains physiographic province lies to the east of the Table Mountains.(10) The larger streams of the Ozark dome are of decided interest to the physiographer .(11) The Mer site is located within the Tennessee River drainage in the Valley and Ridge physiographic province.(12) In physiographically similar areas to the southwest, the species occurs most commonly in wet or seasonally wet limestone soils.(13) Study sites were located in floodplains of the upper Passaic River basin in the Piedmont physiographic region of New Jersey.(14) This physiographically distinct region is assigned to the Western Upland geographic province.(15) The Crim and Marble Forest sites are located in the prairie wetlands physiographic region in northcentral Iowa.(16) Bowman, a distinguished geographer and originally a physiographer , participated in the exploration of the Andes.
