Sentence examples for subaqueous environments from inspiring English sources

Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits form in subaqueous environments from circulating hydrothermal fluids heated by volcanic activity.

Landforms are introduced within their characteristic process form domains, including the subglacial environment, ice-marginal and supraglacial settings, subaqueous environments, and mountainous terrain.

These subaqueous environments occurred both simultaneously and at different times along the volcanic fissures which underlie the ridge and have given rise to a complex facies architecture.

SP III consists mostly of mouth-bar sandstones, indicating abrupt subsidence of the basin and the transition from subaerial to subaqueous environments.

In subaqueous environments, where dredging and other marine construction activities may be delayed by requirements to obtain this information, better methods for the field identification of these materials would be of use to subaqueous soil surveyors.

Other processes due to flow, such as saltation or suspension, will not be considered so that we can focus on subaqueous environments with low transport rates that form topographies such as sand patches.

Note also that velocities of this order would cause strong shear and disruption of the landslide body in a subaqueous environment, which is in contrast with the regular appearance of the landslides in VM.

In combination with the AMS 14C ages, they suggested that the GSF sediment was deposited in a terrestrial (and probably subaqueous) environment during a period approximately between 22 and 17 calibrated (cal).

For instance, water-lain sediments may contain the biosignatures of colonies of chemotrophic organisms that inhabited the volcanic sediments and/or associated subaqueous hydrothermal environments, or they may contain detrital or dissolved organic molecules chemically bonded to phyllosilicates, or even eroded detrital fragments of rocks that contained preserved biosignatures.

The core observation, description and facies analysis showed that the studied interval was deposited on a shallow-water delta front depositional environment, which included four sub-environments: subaqueous distributary channel, subaqueous interdistributary bay, mouth bar and distal bar.

Regardless of which of these alternatives may prove to be the most significant in any given setting, it is clear that most sedimentation is now taking place in subaqueous rather than subaerial environments, and that small impoundments are a major sediment sink.
