Fouquet," said Buckingham, "I leave the captain with you, he is more learned than I am in bastions, scarps, and counter-scarps, and I will join one of my friends, who has just beckoned me." Saying this, Buckingham disengaged himself from the group, and advanced towards Raoul, stopping for a moment at the table where the queen-mother, the young queen, and the king were playing together.

Above that, in scarps and blocks upheaved, the rocks strove to fight their heads above the white smother.

When it came they looked across the valley and saw that what had been forest, and terraced field, and track-threaded grazing-ground was one raw, red, fan-shaped smear, with a few trees flung head-down on the scarp. That red ran high up the hill of their refuge, damming back the little river, which had begun to spread into a brick-coloured lake.

CHORUS Move sideways towards the ledge, And sit thee crouching on the scarped edge.

These fault scarps resemble small stair-step shaped cliffs when seen from the lunar surface, typically tens of yards high and extending for a few miles.

These faults resemble small stair-shaped cliffs, or scarps, when seen from the lunar surface; each is roughly tens of yards high and a few miles long.

These fault scarps resemble small stair-step shaped cliffs when seen from the lunar surface, typically tens of yards (meters) high and extending for a few miles (several kilometers).

First, detailed enhanced-color images from the spacecraft's HIRISE camera revealed bluish layers in the scarps' steep faces.

However, erosion in these regions creates scarps that expose the internal structure of the mantle.

Astronomers believe that in order to accommodate a cooling and shrinking core, rocks on Mercury's crust are continuously being pushed together - a geological phenomenon that creates massive scarps and valleys.

That's much younger than Mercury's larger, eroded scarps seen elsewhere, which probably arose over 3.5 billion years ago.

An official of the Irrigation Department, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told that the Scarps only function was to install tube wells at various sites to maintain the underground water table and release saline water into the Left Bank Outfall Drain or the Right Bank Outfall Drain.
