These patterns are suggested to reflect channel melting, and sheet flow under the front, respectively.

In contrast, the backwash is dominated by the sheet flow and bedload sediment transport.

Bright white bacterial mats line cracks in basaltic sheet flow.

Perhaps as threatening, the artificial plumbing has disrupted the slow, even seepage of water through the Everglades, a process called sheet flow.

In those areas, even the minute current of the sheet flow of water from Okeechobee will attract bass to their feeding stations.

Levees divide what remains of the sheet flow into a series of disconnected pools.

But experts are divided over the extent to which the historic sheet flow can and should be re-established.

For example, if sheet flow were fully restored, subsidence of the land in some places would make the water too deep to support much Everglades life.

With slightly stronger winds, particles collide in mid-air, causing sheet flows.

In a major dust storm, dunes may move tens of metres through such sheet flows.
