The flat bones are: the occipital, parietal, frontal, nasal, lacrimal, vomer, sternum, ribs, and scapulae. [1] These bones are composed of two thin layers of compact bone enclosing between them a variable quantity of cancellous bone, [1] which is the location of red bone marrow. In an adult, most red blood cells are formed in flat
Meander – One of a series of curves in a channel of a matured stream; Misfit stream – River too large or too small to have eroded the valley or cave passage in which it flows; Narrows – Restricted land or water passage; Oxbow lake – U-shaped lake or pool left by an ancient river meander; Point bar – Landform related to streams and rivers
The most common type of fluvial lake is a crescent-shaped lake called an oxbow lake due to the distinctive curved shape. They can form in river valleys as a result of meandering. The slow-moving river forms a sinuous shape as the outer side of bends are eroded away more rapidly than the inner side.
This picture of the Nowitna River in Alaska shows two oxbow lakes – a short one at the bottom of the picture and a longer, more curved one at the middle-right. The picture also shows that a third oxbow lake is probably in the making: the isthmus or bank in the centre of the most prominent meander is very narrow – much narrower than the width of the river; eventually, the two sections of ...

Polartrio employed Esko Sääskilahti as the construction manager for the project. Sääskilahti designed the pond as the central point of the village, and performed the necessary measurements and marked the contours of the lake on the terrain. [3] The excavation work took about a week during the summer of 1991 using two machines. [3]
The volcanic origin of the island gave rise to many vents, hot springs, fumaroles and mudpots on the surface of the island. An eruption sometime before the twentieth century created a crater lake that is shaped like a heart. Paoha Island is the younger of the two Mono Lake islands; Negit rose about 1,350 years before Paoha. [3]
