In China, the regolith-covered landscapes mainly include desert windblown sand basins, desert peneplains, semi-arid grassland, loess plateaus, forestry land, alluvial plains and laterite terrains.
Submarine canyons originate close to the coast, intersecting the longshore current system and siphoning off sand to basin floors in the Borderland that is, the continental margin of southern California and northern Baja California.
The lowest turbiditic system (Lower Pab) is a sand-rich basin floor fan, which consists of sand-rich channel complexes distally passing to lobes northward.
Slice 2 in Fig. 12 is the stratal slice of a lake transgressive system tract, indicating that the sand bodies retrograded toward the basin margin as the lake area increased.
A fin-type solar still was fabricated in India [10] and various experiments were conducted using different heat storage materials, such as sponges, pebbles, black rubber and sand in the solar still basin to compare the yield enhancement.
Sheet sands are also found in basin floor positions and at the toes of graded (unconfined) slopes associated with stable substrates.

Sand dunes also occupy large areas of the Murray River basin.
I push on, chattering across the rocks, plowing through the sand, crossing a basin of dried mud aglitter with half-buried gypsum crystals".
The total forest area of the watershed is 9908 ha, and soils are categorized as sand in the basin, sandy loam, clay and sandy clay loam, and clay based on the USDA soil textural classification (Bekele et al. 2012).
