BAY RIVER DELTA The Morant Bay River Delta was our first location on the geography trip This delta is known as an arcuate delta. It is 4000m in width. The delta is orientated in a north to south direction. This delta is made up of a mixture of sediments in sizes from sand to small boulders (sand‚ gravel‚ coble‚ small boulder).It was also noted that the delta is very mature because it had people living on it. Some features that were observed on the Morant bay river delta are: * Flood plain

INTRODUCTION Tinekhu Khola Small Hydropower Project (TKSHP) with an Installed Capacity of 990 kW utilizes flow from Tinekhu Khola which is located at Suri and Jhyaku VDC’s of Dolakha District‚ Janakpur zone in Eastern Development Region of Nepal. Tinekhu Khola Small Hydropower Project (The Project) is Run off River (RoR) type with its headworks located in Tinekhu River at some 3 km upstream from the confluence of Tamakoshi River and Tinekhu River.

The Oregon Coast Range is composed of accreted oceanic sediments. The oldest rocks were formed during the Paleocene to the middle of the Eocene era. The rocks are gently folded and have a slight westward dip. As we walked out onto the Jetty‚ you could see how the waves came in at a slight angle rather than directly at the coast. Most of the rocks (particularly the smaller hand held size rocks) were jagged and triangular looking. This told me that these rocks came from a relatively close proximity

What is Sea-floor spreading? Seafloor spreading is a process of plate tectonics in which new oceanic crust is created as large lumps of the Earth ’s crust split apart from each other and magma shafts up to fill the gap. Who discovered sea-floor spreading? The man who discovered sea floor spreading was Harry Hess. Harry Hess was a geologist. Part of his mission had been to study the deepest parts of the ocean floor. In 1946 he had discovered that hundreds of flat-topped mountains‚ perhaps sunken

headlands and bays‚ cliffs and caves. A levee is a slope that regulates the water flow. They are formed when a river overflows the banks and the water that overflows‚ overflows again but this time into the flood plain. When the water goes back the sediments are deposited‚ the smaller particles are deposited further away from the river and the bigger

tourists‚ and the economy. Many times‚ you will notice the land by the sea eating itself away with time. The term used to describe this event is called coastal erosion. Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave actions‚ tidal currents‚ wave currents‚ drainage

a beach also helps determine the grain size of the sediment (Bascom‚ 1959). The steeper a beach is‚ the larger the sand particles (Ted Klenk‚ 1999). The water retention of coarse sand is quite low allowing temperatures to rise easily at low tide (MB2050 lecture notes). Any organisms on a coarse particle beach will not only have to deal with the very unstable substrate but also the real danger of desiccation (MB2050 lecture notes). Fine sediment areas do not have much water moving through the particles

volume of water in the river (because of tributaries flowing into the river and surface run off) and less energy is used overcoming the lesser friction of the smoother less angular bedload. There is more transportation of material‚ and more suspended sediment. The bedload is smaller and more rounded as it has been subjected to more erosion (namely attrition or corrosion). The main feature seen is the meander. Meander These are bends that form when the slope of a river
