"Carbonate shelves collapsed and unconsolidated clastic sediments on the shelves were mixed with water to form muds and suspensions which gravity mobilized to flow down the shelves and even into ...

Sediment discharge increased by the flushing operation choked coastal lagoons. The sinusoidal trend in sediment load during the SFO transformed the delta into a fluvial and wave-dominated pointy ...

When cruise ships lumber into Key West’s shallow harbor, they can sometimes churn up a storm of sediment more potent than a hurricane, new monitoring by the city shows.

Erosion, weathering, transportation, deposition, and lithification are the major steps in converting clastic sediments into sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are the ultimate source of fossil fuels ...

The sedimentary environment is paramount in dictating depositional processes, ecological settings, and hydrodynamic conditions, all of which are pivotal to the aggregation of organic-rich sediments. A ...

Overall, clastic amphiboles in the surface sediments of the SYS exhibit high silicon, high calcium, high iron and magnesium, and low sodium and potassium content in different locations. Table 1. Table ...

Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in four main ways: by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known ...

The observation suggests an increased supply of clastic sediments into marginal and deeper marine basin in response to increased runoff and/or storm-driven currents.
