They drop in the open and are eaten or left to rot or weather down to nothing.

On the Lapse of Time, as Inferred from the Rate of Deposition and Extent of Denudation.

关时间的流逝，从沉积率剥程度推断。

But both are greatly obscured by the forests and underbrush growing upon them, and by the denuding action of rains and melting snows, etc.

但是两者都被森林上面生长的灌木丛，以及雨水融雪等的剥作用大大遮蔽了。

Due to a complex combination of erosion, weathering, and collapse, a massive height difference of more than 2,600 meters was formed between today's mountain top and the Emei Plain.

在剥 风化 崩塌等复杂作用下最终形成了今天山顶与峨眉平原2600多米的巨大高差。

As Lyell has well remarked, the extent and thickness of our sedimentary formations are the result and the measure of the denudation which the earth's crust has elsewhere undergone.

正如莱尔所说的那样， 我们沉积岩层的范围厚度是地壳在其他地方经历的剥的结量标准。

He found the house, a weather beaten cardboard bungalow at eighty a month, but at the last minute the firm ordered him to Washington and I went out to the country alone.

他找到了房子，那是座风雨剥的木板平房，月租八十美元，可是在最后分钟公司把他调到华盛顿去了，我也就只好个人搬到郊外去住。

We can best gain some idea of past time by knowing the agencies at work; and learning how deeply the surface of the land has been denuded, and how much sediment has been deposited.

通过了解工作中的机构， 我们可以最好地了解过去的时间；并了解土地表面被剥的深度， 以及沉积了多少沉积物。

Many cases could be given of the lower beds of a formation having been upraised, denuded, submerged, and then re-covered by the upper beds of the same formation—facts, showing what wide, yet easily overlooked, intervals have occurred in its accumulation.

可以举出个地层的下部地层被抬升、 剥、淹没， 然后被同地层的上部地层重新覆盖的许多案例— — 事实表明，在其积累过程中发生了多么宽阔但容易被忽视的间隔.
