In this study, the dominant factor controlling the geomorphological variability and the threshold sediment flux (TSF) to form a river delta in Hainan Island, southern China, including accommodation space, sediment supply, and reworking forces, was investigated by the method of big data analytics. ...
A river delta is a low-lying plain or landform that occurs at the mouth of a river near where it flows into an ocean or another larger body of water. Deltas' greatest importance to human activities, fish and wildlife lay in their characteristic highly fertile soil and dense, diverse vegeta...
It is formed by riverborne sediment which is deposited at the edge of a standing water. This is in most cases an ocean but can also be a lake. The morphology and sedimentary sequences of a delta depend on the discharge regime and on the sediment load of the river as well as on the...
delta - a low triangular area of alluvial deposits where a river divides before entering a larger body of water; "the Mississippi River delta"; "the Nile delta" diapir - a domed rock formation where a core of rock has moved upward and pierced through the more brittle overlying strata folium...
The Luanhe River Delta is a delta plain built ' up by the action of rivers and sea waves together.Owing to the migrations of the distributary region sincethe Holocene Period five secondary delta depositional masses were formed during the Early Holocene, the Middle Holocene, the early historical...
From the acoustical exploring data of superficial strata,it is found that partial disturbed strata exist in the shallow depth of the subaqueous Yellow River Delta,accompanied by negative topography,and the biggest depth of the disturbed strata is 5 m.Engineering geologic investigation analysis between ...
Sequence stratigraphy is a key technology for exploration of stratigraphic-lithological reservoirs. For the purpose of pushing forward the stratigraphic-lithological reservoirs exploration of Baiyinchagan Sag in Erlian Basin, on the basis of previous researches, and through delicate stratigraphical correlation...
atmosphere during the Middle and Later Pinghu periods caused a sharp increase of erosion. Enormous sediments provided by the source areas were transported into the Xihu Depression, which accelerated the progradation of braided river delta into the sea. In addition, the paleogeographic framework during...
The Chinese government is promoting the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region to become a world-class megalopolis in China in addition to the Yangtze River Delta megalopolis20. Much attention has been focused on the BTH region since the implementation of “The Plan for the Coordinated Development of...
Sand body traps— finite sand bodies such as channel sands, river delta sands, and sea or ocean beach or barrier bar sands. These sand body traps are deposited over well-defined regions. As deposition continues on a wider regional basis of shale-forming deposits, the sand body becomes enclose...
