nominalisation
Academic writers frequently use the noun forms of
verbs; rather than focusing on the action (verb)
they focus on the concept (noun).

Water hyacinths are rapidly spreading into
drainage systems and are restricting the rate at
which the water flows.(=verb)
The rapid spread of water hyacinths into drainage
systems is causing restrictions in the rate of water
flows.(=noun)
