<< review queue entry 64132 >> slanting. ------------------------------------ Editor: It doesn't exactly mean "slanting". The characters tell you what it means: "following (顺) the incline (斜)". In the context of geology, that's cataclinal ("descending in the same direction as that of the dip of the geological strata"). The opposite of cataclinal is anaclinal ("descending in a direction opposite to that of the dip of the strata"). In Chinese, that's 逆斜. Examples: 逆斜谷 anaclinal valley. 逆斜河 anaclinal river 顺斜谷的英文翻译:cataclinal valley 顺斜河 cataclinal river Waterfalls are classified according to how they fall relative to the underlying rock strata. If a waterfall falls following the incline of the strata, it's called a 順斜型瀑布. (5) 基盤形態︰ 基盤形態主要指地層傾斜方向與河流流向的關係。地層傾向與河流流向相背者稱為「逆斜型瀑布」;若水平稱「水平型瀑布」,如紗帽瀑布;若地層傾向和流向一致則稱「順斜型瀑布」;若造瀑層的岩性均質或為火山岩而無測得層理則歸於「無層理型」,如絹絲瀑布、大屯瀑布及楓林瀑布等。 |
