Sentence examples for modes of sediment from inspiring English sources
The slide scars show a range of associated seafloor topography, reflecting various modes of sediment displacement.
Across-shelf variations in sediment 40Ar/39Ar age reflect changing modes of sediment dispersal on the continental shelf.
This paper attempts to quantify catastrophic modes of sediment delivery by presenting three recent examples of large landslides on the western slopes of the Southern Alps.
The reconstructed sedimentation history shows that the landscape will undergo four stages with contrasting modes of sediment transport: 1) subglacial processes related to active ice, 2) processes related to the margin of active ice, 3) processes related to the melting of inactive ice, and 4) nonglacial processes.
These include differences in (1) density contrasts of flows relative to ambient fluids, (2) entrainments of ambient fluids into flows, (3) effects of centrifugal and Coriolis forces on flows, (4) frequency, volume and duration of steady vs. catastrophic flows, (5) modes of sediment transport, and (6) effects of sea level changes on deposition.
Modes of sediment comprising seafloor type H do not correlate with water depth, which is similar to samples from seafloor type E (Fig. 4(C)).
The climate significantly influenced the mode of sediment transfer from the feeder system to the basin.
Clast shape analysis and process observations reveal that the dominant mode of transport is subglacial and glaciofluvial, and that the main mode of sediment delivery to the moraines is by debris flows after the material has been transferred from the bed via englacial debris bands and meltout at the surface.
The investigation will involve looking at the mode of deposition of sediment on a regional scale within the genetically related packages and ages and possibly establishes its diagenetic sources.
The modes of the poorly sorted sediments representing seafloor types B and C are within the coarse-sand fraction (—0.9 to 0.4Φ).
Major topics addressed are: modes of biogenic, terrigenous and authigenic sedimentation, depositional environments, pore fluids and sediment geochemistry, diagenesis, as well as biostratigraphy and sediment stratigraphic principles and methods.
