Therefore, many puzzles remain in our attempts to make sense out of the fossil record.For instance, mammals developed from reptiles ...
듯한 직벽(直壁)으로 둘러싸여 있고 해식(海蝕) 작용으로 장관을 이룬다. 해식(marine erosion)이란 파도 조류(潮流) 연안류 등이 해안선 가까이서 작용하는 침식현상. 파도의 침식으로 나타나는 지형으로는 해식애(sea cliff) 해식동(sea cave) 해식대(abrasion platform) 등이 있다. 대부분의 독도 지형은 ...
