| 11. | One of the least expected terrestrial environments the chytrid thrive in are periglacial soils.
|
| 12. | Subsequent periglacial frost wedging during the Pleistocene formed the hill's extensive boulders.
|
| 13. | However, during the Pleistocene epoch ( the Ice Age ), periglacial processes dominated.
|
| 14. | In the last million years the periglacial weathering has completely removed several hundred feet of chalk.
|
| 15. | Periglacial polygons, also known as " stone nets ", are located above the timberline.
|
| 16. | Head also formed in the periglacial circumstances by breaking off rock fragments and mixing with dirt.
|
| 17. | Periglacial environments trend towards stable geomorphologies.
|
| 18. | The species was presumably common in areas south of its present range during times of periglacial ice.
|
| 19. | Gelifluction is prominent in periglacial regions where snow falls during six to eight months of the year.
|
| 20. | Such slow melting results in characteristic mass movement processes and features exclusively associated with specific periglacial environments.
