boundaries are relatively stable but whose constitutive material is 

continuously moving through the region itself and being replaced by 

other, similar material.  Each FlowRegion is constituted by a stream 

of matter moving as a whole.  A FlowRegion may be liquid or gaseous.  

A wind may be considered as a Process or as a FlowRegion, similarly 

an OceanCurrent or a WaterWave.  The motion process associated with a 

FlowRegion ?F is denoted by (FlowFn ?F).  Note that certain 

properties belong to the FlowRegion itself (e.g., mass, length, volume, 

temperature, and speed or velocity of the region moving as a whole), 

while other properties of interest belong to the Motion of its 

constitutive stuff (e.g., velocity, direction).  The motion of 

a FlowRegion as a whole (e.g., JetStream moves within the atmosphere) 

is distinguished from the motion of the pieces of stuff constituting the 

FlowRegion.  See FlowFn and FlowRegionFn.</rdfs:comment>

moving along the surface of a body of water.  The WaterWave moves 

in a direction approximately transverse to the crest line of the wave.  

The wave is constituted of successive regions of water, which do not 

travel in the direction of the wave or with it.</rdfs:comment>

<rdfs:comment>Palestine is a GeographicArea in the 

MiddleEastRegion that partly overlaps the state of Israel.  Historically, 

the name Palestine has had varying extents and references, including a former 

country that was part of the Ottoman Empire from 1516 -1917 and a mandate of 

the British Empire from 1923-1948, as well as the Biblical nation of Canaan.  

The area now referred to by this name is largely coextensive with Israel, 

though historically Palestine included parts of Jordan and Egypt.  The 

core area of the region is the land between the MediterraneanSea and the 

JordanRiver.</rdfs:comment>

<rdfs:comment>SeaLevel is a GeographicArea, or layer, that 

circles PlanetEarth and is used as a reference point for measures of 

elevation.  It may be considered as based on the global Mean Sea Surface 

(MSS), which in turn is based on all the local Mean Sea Levels (MSL).  In 

fact, there are local variations in MSL, due to tides and long- and 

short-term weather conditions.  The idealized reference ellipsoid used to 

'smooth out' the local variations is called the 'geoid'.</rdfs:comment>
