When a noun or an adjective is used in stead of a verb then the verb is called a buried verb. This kind of writing tends to sound formal and is often used in legal writing:

My client has the intention - the words in bold could be replaced by the verb intends

These rules are applicable - apply

The outcome is dependent on - depends on

This option leads to a reduction of -reduces

By avoiding buried verbs you can make your writing sound less formal and easier to read and inderstand.
