Sediments gradually accumulate on top of these, producing a comparatively simple pattern of sediment, basaltic basement, gabbroic layering, and underlying mantle structure.
Further, each rainfall scenario produces a unique pattern of sediment output that suggests non-linear processes.
It is found that the correlation contour map reflects the pattern of sediment distribution of the fan.
In karst watersheds, sinkholes and other drainage features control the temporal and spatial pattern of sediment storage across the landscape.
The spatial pattern of sediment flow and net erosion/deposition is modeled using the closure relationship between sediment transport capacity and detachment developed for the USDA Water Erosion Prediction Project.
A spatial comparison analysis and regression model indicated that the distributed pattern of sediment toxicity was likely related to hydrodynamics and circumfluence in the East China Sea (ECS) shelf.
Orthoimages are used to analyze the influence of valley width, channel slope, and the area of landslides that deliver sediment to valley floors upon the downstream pattern of sediment storage in the Liwu basin, eastern Taiwan.
Nevertheless, pattern of sediment yield across the Alps coincides roughly with the intensity of glacial conditioning and modern rock uplift, supporting the hypothesis of an erosion-driven uplift of the Alps.
This spatial pattern seems to reflect a filtering effect of the dams on the on the temporal pattern of sediment loads as well as decreased longitudinal connectivity of sediment transfer through the river system, resulting in downstream enhancement of the influence of local sediment inputs by tributaries on sediment dynamics.
The preserved sedimentary expression of fluvial successions accumulated in salt-walled mini-basins records the complex history of basin subsidence, the style of sediment supply, and the pattern of sediment distribution in response to a range of fluvial processes throughout the evolution of such basins.
