### magnitude | area:

Agricultural area
* Most agricultural areas have, at best, six inches of topsoil.
* Some agricultural areas have high abundances
  - insect abundances
* are important for a healthy environment.
* contribute pesticides, nitrogen, and phosphorus to streams and ground water.
* make up a large portion of the state.

Arid area
* Most arid areas have little rainfall
  - several types of terrain
* Some arid areas are inhabited by oryxes.

Baggage claim
* are areas.
* is an area

Bright area
* are coronal clouds moving outward
  - places with high, thick clouds that shield the methane below
* correspond to active sunspot regions.
* indicate a high concentration of the element, dark areas an absence of the element
  - higher amounts of moisture and are often associated with clouds
  - regions of high coherence, whereas dark areas represent low coherence regions

Brighter area
* represent regions populated by either numerous or massive young stars.
+ Field (physics): Basic physics ideas
  * Brighter areas have a greater magnitude. The direction of the field is not visible.

### magnitude | area:

Coastal area
* Many coastal areas are protected nature reserves.
* Most coastal areas experience two high tides and two low tides each day
  - receive snowfall
* Some coastal areas are nearly frost-free year round
  - contain cacti
* Some coastal areas provide habitats
  - primary habitats
  - waterfowl habitats
* are among the places of highest biodiversity on Earth
  - world's most productive and scientifically interesting regions
* are particularly important to society for fisheries and human populations
  - vulnerable to the effects of natural hazards
  - sites of intense human activity and rapid population growth
* are subject to problem flooding when storms or heavy rain showers occur at high tide
  - tropical cyclones
  - the breeding and nursery grounds for a variety of organisms
  - vitally important as feeding, spawning, and nursery grounds for scup
* begin at sea level and rise quickly as one travels east into the Coastal Range.
* benefit from the moderating influence of the warmer sea.
* encompass a diverse array of resources and ecosystems with intense human activities.
* experience two or three tropical cyclones of varying intensity each year.
* harbor a disproportionate number of rare and endangered species.
* have a direct relation between the amount of precipitation and runoff
  - warm Mediterranean climate
  - milder climates than inland
  - the most pronounced fjords
* provide extensive and excellent habitat for migrating waterfowl and shore birds
  - habitat for more endangered and threatened species than inland areas
  - marine resources as well as coastal birds and their eggs
  - primary habitat for biting midges
+ Maine, Geography, Climate
  * Winters are cold and snowy all over the state, and are mostly more severe in the northern parts of Maine. Coastal areas are moderated somewhat by the Atlantic Ocean.
+ North Sea, Animal life: Seas :: Atlantic Ocean
  * Terns, Atlantic puffins, razorbills, kittiwakes and other seabirds live on the North Sea coast. Many coastal areas are protected nature reserves.

Cold area
* Many cold areas are underlain by permanently frozen ground called permafrost.
* appear brighter on an infrared image than the earth s surface.

Critical area
* are environmentally sensitive lands that are protected in some way.
* is the probability of failure times the die area.
