Sentence examples for thin sediments from inspiring English sources

We suggest that the acquired pattern in these areas can be explained by the existence of thin sediments combined with effects related to the complex geometry of the topographic relief.

The observed record section at OBS050 on SPr11 (Fig. 6(b)) shows strongly undulating travel time curves due to thin sediments and the very rough topography of the acoustic basement, as shown in the MCS record (Fig. 2(c)).

The S-wave velocities of the deepest parts beneath the thick sediments are low (350 600 m/s), while the sites on thin sediments have high velocities (~800 m/s) as engineering bedrock (T05, T12, T13, T18).

This fact is further observed in its rough relief and thin sediment cover.

This paper aims to develop a theoretical hydromechanical model designed to explain slow motion of thin sediment suspension layer over the Black Sea abyssal plain.

The thin sediment (shallow basement) between station 1 50 m at the SW flank and between station 120 200 m at the NE flank could be responsible to the present stability of the segments.

They found that the severe damage tends to occur in areas that have deep basement, low gravity anomaly, thick sediment, and unconsolidated material, while the slight damages tend to occur in areas that have shallow basement, high gravity anomaly, thin sediment, and consolidated material.

The park includes the southern portion of Biscayne Bay, with areas of thin sediment called "hardbottom", and vegetated seagrass meadows supporting turtlegrass and shoal grass.
