IN WESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN FRANCE THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF DURICRUSTS: FERRUGINOUS LATERITE AND SILCRETE. WHILE IN AUSTRALIA THESE DURICRUSTS SEEM TO BE CONTEMPORANEOUS AND CONTIGREOUS, THEY ARE SUPERIMPOSED IN FRANCE. THE EARLIER ONES HAS BEEN
FORMED IN NORTHERN FRANCE SINCE LATE CRETACEOUS TIMES, WHILE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PART THEIR FORMATION EXTENDED UNTIL THE OLIGOCENE. TECTONIC AND CLIMATIC IMPLICATIONS ARE DISCUSSED, E.G. CHANGES OF PALAEOLATITUDES.

with occluded fronts, while the highest maximum precipitation totals are associated with cold fronts. However, the influence of cold fronts on the precipitation pattern is found to be more important in a warm season than a cold one, while the effect of warm

Reflexe migračních teorií

This contribution concentrates upon three main tasks, i.e. to introduce some basic and often rather problematic aspects that are tied to creation and application of migration theories. While contributing to improving conceptualization of migratory
theory building activities, the authors pinpointed the importance to work on new typologies of migration while structuring migratory reality by following differentiating dimensions : 1. Spatial-administration scale (internal versus international migration

. The other maintains that there are two terraces. The youngest is considered essentially Holocene in age while the older is Sangamon in age. Radiometric and stratigraphic evidence collected for this study indicates that there are two terraces. The youngest
is late Woodfordian to Holocene in age while the other is Farmdalian.

Palaeoecology and the origin of the Coconut

While botanists, archaeologists, historians and linguists have contributed to the debate on the origin of the coconut pollen analysts have been silent. This article attempts to integrate the results of recent palaeoecological research with findings

While primarily studying administration there is useful material in agricultural policy and the problems of the urban and rural poor. (EMS)

Vegetation of the Himalayas

One of the impressive grandeurs of the Himalayas is its vegetable cover. While the snow dominates the highest elevations, the stupendous steep slopes of the breastwork of lesser Himalayas clad in their sylvan beauty of conifers like pines, proclaim

In the topical study attention was focussed on a particular commodity and its distribution and production was analysed while in the regional study an area was selected and its agricultural problems, or the dominance of crops in relation

Low level of selenium in the environment is a basic causation of Kaschin-Beck disease, while some other factors must be taken into account.

The paper deals with the question of sustainable development of rural areas of Europe, while referring to the Pan-European conference devoted to these topics (Worriken, Belgium, 2000). Special attention is focussed on the problems of sustainable

Klimatologie. (Climatologie)

New edition of the textbook by SCHERHAG, where the first part (basic elements of meteorology, planetarial circulation, air pressure and wind systems) remained unchanged, while the second part (climatic classifications, climatic variations, micro

L'analyse des données en économie

Rather than simple input-output matrices, it is proposed here to consider detailed tables of flows and services, while making for man a rigorously defined place in the conclusions. (l'Ed.).

To date, most studies have considered the sedimentology of palaeo-tsunamis while almost no detailed studies have been undertaken in areas known to have been affected by tsunamis in recent times. Research on contemporary tsunamis show that coastal
, while in adjacent areas run-up processes often result in the deposition of continuous and discontinuous sediment sheets.

workers or evenly distributed to the workers residing in the region generating the tax revenue. When a homogeneous good is traded, despite reimbursement systems, the ad valorem tax retains the firm share, while the unit tax accelerates firm agglomeration
in the larger region. When the homogeneous good is nontradable, despite taxation schemes, the intraregional distribution retains the firm share, while the interregional one accelerates agglomeration in the larger region.

What makes firms leave the neighbourhood?

in particular is affected by neighbourhood conditions, while the choice of manufacturing, wholesale and business services firms is affected more by increases in population density. Nevertheless, a higher number of shops, cafes and restaurants and a more
attractive physical environment do lower the probability that business services leave the neighbourhood, while manufacturing and wholesale firms are more inclined to leave neighbourhoods when a higher share of consumer services is not in use.
