These trends were attributed to spatial patterns in the intensity of pedogenesis in the watershed and the influence of winnowing and sedimentation on lake sediment composition.
Consequently, using Model 3 is not reliable, as the results would decrease sediment transport capacity and increase sedimentation on the bed channel.
These observations support proposed negative feedbacks related to hydrology and sediment transport that stabilise overdeepening growth through sedimentation on the adverse slope but permit continued overdeepening planform enlargement by processes of headward erosion.
Therefore, this study attempts to assess the impacts of flood-induced sedimentation on agricultural land, physical characteristics of the sediments and cultivation practices in the affected areas during the post 2008 Koshi flood.
The difference between erosion and sedimentation on the hillslopes results in a net transport of sediment towards the valley bottom, where the sediment is retained behind 17 earthen dams.
Development of grazing, farming, industry, and urban areas on the coast and in catchments increased soil erosion and export of sediments to inshore ecosystems, raising concerns related to effects of increased turbidity and sedimentation on coastal coral reefs [128], and runoff carrying pollutants, including fertilizers and pesticides [129].
G.E. therefore believes that a combination of plugging the old leaks, a job on which it has already spent $160 million, and further sedimentation on the river bottom will be enough to solve the problem.
The opening of the present-day Atlantic Ocean was presaged by rift faulting and related sedimentation on the eroded surface of the Appalachians beginning about 230 million years ago.
Each new stand of sea level "writes" a new story of sedimentation on the shelf after the previous episode has been erased by the rise or fall that preceded it, but with some traces of the previous environment of deposition or last erosional event remaining.
In contrast to the passive-margin sedimentation on the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains, the Cordilleran (or Laramide) orogeny in the Late Cretaceous, Paleocene, and Eocene produced a series of upfolded and upthrusted mountains and deep intermontane basins in the area of the Rocky Mountains.
Sedimentation on the T2 and MP surfaces was synchronous.
