| | Sapping (from valley) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia |
 | | Sapping is a process of hillslope or scarp recession by the undermining of an overlying resistant material in the form of weathering or water flow occurring in an underlying less-resistant material. | | | A variation of this process, spring sapping, occurs where groundwater outflow undermines slopes and, where appropriately concentrated, contributes to the development of... | | | A variation of this process, spring sapping, occurs where groundwater outflow undermines slopes and, where appropriately concentrated, contributes to the development… |

| | NewHampshire.com: News: Maple malaise is sapping sugarers |
| | Cold weather early in the season followed by warm temperatures means sugarers will end up with half to two-thirds of their normal crops this season, said Henry Marckres of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture. | | | The right combination of temperatures could cause a significant sap flow, capping a maple sugar season that so far has been disappointing. | | | Sugarers rely on freezing nights, followed by thawing days for the sap to run. |

| | Simulation of Groundwater Sapping |
| | Groundwater sapping is presumed to be able to function at low temperatures because groundwater could remain unfrozen at depth because of the high geothermal heat gradient on early Mars, and water emerging at springs might occur beneath a protective ice cap even at low temperatures. | | | An important characteristic of groundwater sapping is that it essentially leaves the intercrater plains unmodified. | | | Groundwater sapping is erosion by groundwater that emerges as seeps and springs. |

| | A tactic used on the Western Front was to dig short trenches (saps) across No Man's Land. | | | Although sapping was slow and gruelling work, especially during summer months, it was a fairly safe way to make territorial gains. | | | These were then joined together at their far ends to create a new trench. |

| | A computer simulation model was developed to quantify the ground-water sapping processes, using a cellular automata algorithm with coupled surface runoff and ground-water flow for a permeable, resistant layer over an impermeable, friable unit. | | | This{delta}{sup 18}O-forced model also replicates the decrease in fluvial and sapping activity over the past million years. | | | Simulations using geologically reasonable parameters demonstrate that relatively rapid erosion of the shales by surface runoff, ground-water sapping, and slumping of the limestones, and detailed control by hydraulic conductivity inhomogeneities associated with structures explain the depressions, escarpments, and associated landforms and deposits. |
