Fig. 9-8 Histogram of dissolved solids of samples from the Orinoco and Amazon River basins and corresponding denudation rates for morpho-tectonic regions in the humid tropics of South America (Stal-lard, 1985). The approximate denudation scale is calculated as the product of dissolved solids concentrations, mean armual runoff (1 m/yr), and a correction factor to account for large ratios of suspended load in rivers that drain mountain belts and for the greater than average annual precipitation in the lowlands close to the equator. The correction factor was treated as a linear function of dissolved solids and ranged from 2 for the most dilute rivers (dissolved solids less than lOmg/L) to 4 for the most concentrated rivers (dissolved solids more than 1000 mg/L). Bedrock density is assumed to be 2.65 g/cm. (Reproduced with permission from R. F. Stallard (1988). Weathering and erosion in the humid tropics. In A. Lerman and M.

Abstract The elements of the water balance, namely precipitation, runoff, evapo-transpiration, and storage change, their interaction and special attributes in the mountains are presented using the example of the European Alps, with particular reference to Switzerland. Strong differentiation in the alpine climate over time and space exerts a significant influence on the water cycle. This chapter therefore discusses each of the elements of the water balance with particular reference to the influence of mountains and their measurement, as well as the spatial differentiation characteristics. The analysis of the water balance is accompanied by a discussion on the attributes and differences at different altimdes and in different climatic regions. Finally, the importance of alpine water resources for water supplies in the adjacent lowlands is examined.

Alpine rivers in Middle Europe represent a special aquatic ecosystem and their characters differ greatly from those of lowland rivers (see [1], this volume). Alpine rivers have their sources in mountain regions where the land is covered with snow for several months of the year and where glaciers can exist in high altitude areas. As a result, water discharge decreases to a minimum in winter and a... 

Mexico, all the year round in parts of China and Brazil and in the equatorial highlands of South America (e.g., Ecuador and Colombia) and East Africa (e.g., Kenya and Uganda), as a winter crop in the lowland subtropics (e.g., northern India and southern China), as spring and autumn crops in the Mediterranean (e.g.. North Africa), and in summer in the lowland temperate regions of the world (North America, western and eastern Europe, northern China and Australia and New Zealand). 

The deposit is situated in the Gardabani region, on the right bank of the river Iori, 30 km to the East of Tbilisi, and 7 km from the Vaziani railway station. It is situated on the East end of the Teleti structure lowland and is made up by sediments of the Upper Cretaceous, the Lower, Middle and Upper Eocene and Oligocene. In the arch of the fold there are dome-shaped brachy-anticline, where oil was found and quarrying was carried out.
