Cirque stairway

View of the Zastler Loch, a cirque stairway in the Black Forest

A cirque stairway or sequence of cirque steps is a stepped succession of glacially eroded rock basins.[1] Their individual formation is that of a cirque.

These steps are arranged one above and behind the other at different heights in the terrain and caused by the same morphodynamic processes, albeit resulting in different landform shapes depending on the type of rock and the depositional circumstances involved. The lower step often lacks the steep headwalls typical of cirques.[2]

A well-known example is the Zastler Loch below the summit of the Feldberg, the highest mountain of the Black Forest in Germany.

Cubic surface

In mathematics, a cubic surface is a surface in 3-dimensional space defined by one polynomial equation of degree 3. Cubic surfaces are fundamental examples in algebraic geometry. The theory is simplified by working in projective space rather than affine space, and so cubic surfaces are generally considered in projective 3-space P 3 {\displaystyle \mathbf {P} ^{3}} . The theory also becomes more uniform by focusing on surfaces over the complex numbers rather than the real numbers; note that a...
