Sentence examples for massive sediments from inspiring English sources

The most common combination is a lower part composed of plane or cross laminated sands, reverse graded sands or of massive sediments and an upper part composed of normally graded sediments.

Field and laboratory analysis of textural characteristics of several landslide dam materials show that they are mostly poorly to very poorly sorted, matrix- or clast-supported, finely skewed, brecciated, stratified to massive sediments, are usually armored with angular boulders, and are sutured with a matrix of very fine materials (Weidinger 2006; Capra 2007, 2011).

Miyasaka et al. (1986) proposed that uplift and massive sediment supplies had commenced in the middle Miocene when large amounts of clastic Hidaka metamorphic rocks appeared in sedimentary basins in the southern part of the Ishikari-Teshio Belt.

These challenges include rapid appraisals of how to distinguish from among multiple coevally formed dams that are most hazardous; suitable engineering solutions for stabilizing landslide dams; management of massive sediment pulses and their risks—in the wake of landslide-dam failures; and the paleoseismological interpretation of clusters of coeval landslide dams.

With the exception of the margin south of Santorini, dozens of cores retrieved around the margins of the Cretan Basin have a continuous late Quaternary succession that shows no evidence for massive sediment remobilization into the deeper basin, including the passage of the "Minoan" tsunami.

The stratigraphic sequences in these coastal sedimentary archives comprise, in many places, a clearly identified anthropogenic signature, notably in ancient harbours, some of which underwent extremely rapid silting up due to massive sediment sourcing generated by new agricultural practices from the Neolithic onwards.

Arenaceous and pebbly gritty quartzite shale with dolomite limestone, intercalated sequence of shale quartzite and massive quartzite sediments are also present in the Srisailam formations.

No clear indication of glacial activities in the area was found, whereas the massive silty sediments in the lower parts of most profiles, the presence of debris slopes, and the asymmetric cross sections of the side valleys suggest periglacial conditions.

The poor sorting and massive character of sediments may indicate a kind of sediment gravity mass flow (expected during backwash).

The hangingwall is consisted of hoary massive debris flow sediments with matrix-supported fabric.

Among three studied sediments, massive hydrate deposits were observed in coarse sand and silt but not in clay marine sediment, while fractures appeared when massive hydrates formed in sediments.
