landmass

Sichuan lies near the boundary of two tectonic plates, the Indian and Eurasian landmasses, making it a particularly quake-prone area.

Terrestrial weather is driven by the sun's radiation as it heats the earth's atmosphere, oceans and landmasses.

These landmasses were pushed into their present positions by the long-gone plates that once composed the Pacific Ocean basin.

Photographers comments one of the smaller landmasses in the galapagos chain, popularly called kicker rock just after sunrise.

The impact shattered the ancient continent of Kalimdor into several landmasses, and a new ocean was born. Much of Zin.

Australia is one of the world's oldest landmasses and has been populated by human beings for an estimated 60 000 years.

This is literally compacting the planetary system itself so that the landmasses of Mother Earth are being compressed into a different space.

They are a way of connecting two landmasses, two cities, different cultures.

The results indicate that, even though the regions today are widely separated, the two landmasses were once connected.

Both the Neoproterozoic and the Permian were times of supercontinent breakup with major landmasses at low latitudes.

They typically have a similar megafauna and climate to neighbouring continental landmasses but human arrival was often delayed.

The two landmasses are moving toward each other, as indicated by the red arrows, one landmass sliding under the other.

Yes, it took millions of years for the landmasses to drift apart, but the 2008 Olympic Games will put them back again.

The atmosphere over landmasses such as the Indian subcontinent also heats up more quickly than it does over water.

But the element is unevenly distributed across Earth's landmasses.

Over time, Gondwana and other ancient landmasses broke up, forming the continents we see today.

Thus, clouds form over the oceans and bring rain to the landmasses,
