Sentence examples for mud sediments from inspiring English sources

Methane hydrates have been found in sandstones from polar regions and in sand and mud sediments from continental margins.

Each bacterium is adapted to live in a particular environmental niche, be it oceanic surfaces, mud sediments, soil, or the surfaces of another organism.

The scientists are focusing on sites where annual layers are formed and are investigating mud sediments off the coast of Santa Barbara in California and the Ernesto cave in northern Italy, where stalactites and stalagmites accrete annual rings.

They have generic names such as Sahelanthropus, Ardipithecus, Orrorin, Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Kenyanthropus, and their remains were unearthed from the dust, stone and mud sediments laid down 3m, 4m and 5m years ago.

After gas is released from mud sediments, it can migrate toward the overlying, underlying, or lateral sand bodies (Fig. 9).

Lenticular bedding and silty blebs (SB) are common in the mud sediments, while graded and massive bedding and shells are present in the sand sediments.

The method was validated by quantifying common sediment physical properties (mass, water content) of samples of different thicknesses (from 250 μm to 2 mm) collected from different sampling sites (mud and sandy-mud sediments) by operators with different levels of training.

In this scenario, reduced chemical species are likely to build up twice as much in mud flat sediments compared to creek sediments during each tidal cycle.

First, the MF wells equilibrate at a slower rate than the CB wells (e.g., Figure 9), suggesting that hydrostatic pressure gradients in mud flat sediments are lower than in creek sediments.

Yet in situ time series data collected during up to four times over three years at both sites show that generally mud flat sediments produce much more dissolved sulfides and much less ferrous iron than creek sediments (Figure 8).

The measurements, together with the numerous data obtained over the last four years at SERF [13, 41, 49 51] show that, in general, mud flat sediments are more reducing environments, with larger sulfide concentrations produced than in creek bank sediments, at least during the warm season (Table 1, Figure 3).
