Condensation during the freezing period, the impermeable layer of the frozen soil below the surface during the early thawing period, as well as the shallow groundwater in the river valleys, are all factors responsible for the waterlogging of the wetland.

A relatively small area on the east side of the Greater Khingan range, between the upper waters of the Songhua (Sungari) and the upper waters of the Liao-ho, is also reckoned to belong to the Gobi by conventional usage.
The area is vulnerable to trampling by livestock and off-road vehicles (human impacts are greater in the eastern Gobi Desert, where rainfall is heavier and may sustain livestock).
As the border-range of the Khingan is approached, the country steadily rises up to 1370 m and then to 1630 m.

Finally, the further back forces are held, the greater their chance of survival: airpower, nuclear missiles and precision weapons may have a long reach, but the deeper the target, the fewer reconnaissance systems that will be able to proviole target information.
On pre-planned lines which in the desert, as Soviet sources emphasize, are set at significantly greater distances from the forward edge of the enemy defense, the battalion deploys into prebattle and finally battle formation-usually on a visual signal (flag or flare).
Desert terrain usually requires that lines of deployment be assigned at greater distances from the forward edge than under conventional conditions in order to reduce the effectiveness of enemy artillery fire and of his antitank assets against the advancing forces.

 Soviet night operations in World War II
The success of night operations in the second period of the war led to a greater use of this tactic in the third phase of the war, 1944-45 (one prominent Soviet expert has estimated that 40 percent of all Soviet attacks in 1944-45 were at night).
In contrast to the Berlin Operation, the Soviets, for their part, took greater precautions to achieve surprise, including conducting in secrecy all troop movements from west to east (including two front commands, three field armies, and one tank army).
Because the Japanese had acted upon the assumption that the 2,000-meter peaks of the 300-kilometer-wide Grand Khingan mountain chain would preclude a major attack from this direction, Soviet artillery and air preparations were unnecessary.

These concerns were the primary reason why the ROC was eager to break with the state, and numerous humiliations both heightened the crisis of church-state relations and served as a pretext for the ROC to withdraw its support for autocracy.
Inevitably, such figures as Pobedonostsev, Witte, Rasputin, as well as discussion of greater independence in the church affairs and a desire to call a Sobor on the part of the ROC, played their decisive role in the history of church-state relations in early twentieth century.
Of course, there is more to the study of religion in Russian than the church relations vis-à-vis state.

 Acid Deposition in Northeast Asia/Full Paper
As a result of these greater transport distances a higher fraction of the emitted SO is converted to sulfate.
The greater transport of sulfur away from the Chinese mainland during the winter, along with the elevated precipitation levels in western Japan during the winter, results in high deposition of acidic species in Japan during the winter.
For example, the use of a low removal rate (such as is the case in Ichikawa and Fujita (1995)) results in a greater transport of sulfur away from source locations, and thus a larger contribution to Japan's deposition from emissions in China.

Wind transport lost its most heavy particles (loamy sand to sandy loam fraction) in the Korqin region, while the lighter loess, mainly composed of silt ("yellow soil"), was deposited further to the south as the loess belt of Kulun.
The Korqin sandsheet thus accumulated through aeolian deposits on the alluvial NE Plain in the east and on the slightly sloping footslopes of the Greater Khingan mountains in the west.
During a second phase, probably the maximum of the Last Glacial Period (25,000-11,000 years before present), still under cold and peri-glacial conditions, vegetation was sparse on the sandsheet and strong WNW to W winds removed and remodelled part of the sandy cover.

In 1206 Temujin's leadership of all Mongols and other peoples they had conquered between the Altai Mountains and the Da Hinggan (Greater Khingan) Range was acknowledged formally by a kuriltai (council) of chieftains as their khan.
Temujin took the honorific chinggis, meaning supreme or great (also romanized as genghis or jenghiz), creating the title Chinggis Khan, in an effort to signify the unprecedented scope of his power.
