hills,valleys, and other shoreline features. The geological process in which sediments, soil, rocks, sand, and pebbles are added to the landforms and increase its size, is known as a deposition. The depositional landforms usually occur when the accumulation of sediments...
Shelf construction in a foreland basin: storm beds, shelf sandbodies, and shelf‐slope depositional sequences in the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group, Book Cliffs, Utah The Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Kenilworth Member of the Blackhawk Formation (Mesaverde Group) is part of a series of strand ...
these plains are formed by the continuous and long time erosion of all sorts of upland. the surface of such plains is hardly smooth. these are therefore also called peneplains which means almost a plain. example: canadian shield and the west siberian plain depositional plains: these plains are...
However, it is difficult to determine parameters related to the cessation of soil mass movement because the depositional area of the soil mass during this event is still not clear. Therefore, in this study, we assumed a smaller value for \(\Phi\) (1.0°) than that set by Ioki et al....

Remobilization and deformation of surficial subaqueous slope sediments create turbidites and soft sediment deformation structures, which are common features in many depositional records. Palaeoseismic studies have used seismically﹊nduced turbidites and soft sediment deformation structures preserved in sedimentary...

An evaporite is a rock that was originally precipitated from a saturated surface or nearsurface...

There are two principal types of sedimentary rock: clastic, or detrital -- which is made up of small rock fragments -- and nonclastic, also called chemical and inorganic. Clastic limestone is made up of biogenic grains, or clasts, rather than eroded rock fragments, as in the case of sands...
There are three different types of plate boundaries, and features created at the surface of the earth correspond to the way the plates meet. The three types ofplate boundariesare convergent, divergent and transform. At a convergent boundary, two plates are moving toward each other. Plates...
