    Special terms are used to describe the mouth and teeth. [2] Fields such as osteology, palaeontology and dentistry apply special terms of location to describe the mouth and teeth. This is because although teeth may be aligned with their main axes within the jaw, some different relationships require special terminology as well; for example, teeth ...

    If you can date the age of the terrace tread, one can get an estimate of the age of abandonment of that surface, and the age of incision. A simple calculation of h 1 /t 1 can give the average rate of incision(r i), where h i = height of river terrace from river and t i = age of surface. [3]

    River incision is the narrow erosion caused by a river or stream that is far from its base level. River incision is common after tectonic uplift of the landscape. Incision by multiple rivers result in a dissected landscape, for example a dissected plateau. River incision is the natural process by which a river cuts downward into its bed ...

  8. Bedrock river - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedrock_river

    Bedrock incision can be caused by tectonic plate movement. [2] As the land is uplifted the river is forced to incise into the bedrock to keep flowing. Incision can be carried out through a variety of erosional processes. The type of bedrock may change as a river flows downstream, affecting erosional processes.
