The Asodani area has a wide, thick caldera fill comprising low-density material (Ono and Watanabe 1985; New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization 1996).
The anthropogenic soils studied were formed on a 0 2% slope under grass vegetation from artificial fill comprised of a mixture of poorly drained native soil materials, glacial sediments and artifacts (objects of anthropogenic origin), mainly waste building materials.
Recognized to a depth of ca.1.4 m, the fill comprised, from top to bottom, six different units (Figures 4, 5, S1, S2).
Northern North Sea basin-fill comprises several clinoform units, prograding westward over 60 000 km2.
The four sub-vertically offset stacked single channel-fills comprise a channel complex formed during a period of waxing-to-waning energy.
Tidal channel fill deposit comprises of well-sorted, fine- to medium-grained, herringbone cross-bedded sands and forms a fining-upward sequence as seen in the well log response and core (Maui-5).
The multi-storey infill of the large-scale scour-fill complexes comprises amalgamated massive, normally coarse-tail graded or widely spaced subhorizontally stratified conglomerates and pebbly sandstones, interpreted as deposits of the hydraulic-jump zone of cyclic steps.
Then, due to the fall of the water table, the dry aeolian sedimentation progrades atop to the sabkha fill to comprise a progradational sequence.
San Francisco's Marina district was particularly hard hit because it had been built on filled land (comprising loose, sandy soil), and the unreinforced masonry buildings in Santa Cruz (many of which were 50 to 100 years old) failed completely.
The trough-fill elements comprise thick-bedded sheet sandstone and sheet-flow turbidite associations, which show sheet-like sedimentation configuration, instead of depositional lobes, without distinct upward fining and coarsening successions.
