(Question A-1) In Model 1 (unconsolidated/uncompacted sediment)‚ the vertically positioned coins showed the following behavior during the simulated earthquake: 1. Some of the coins fell on their sides and/or sank into the sediment. 2. Most of the coins remained in their original positions although some leaned over. 3. All the coins remained in the positions that they occupied before the earthquake. 2. (Question A-2) In Model 2 (compacted sediment)‚ the vertically positioned coins showed the following

where flooding is necessary is a floodplain‚ as the fundamental part of a floodplain is that is formed when a river floods and spills onto the adjacent land and deposit the sediment‚ and if the river didn’t exceed it capacity to contain the water there

Sequence stratigraphy Sequence stratigraphy is a method of stratigraphic interpretation that combines the chronological order of the accumulation of sediments‚ their stratal architecture and the geometric relationships of their facies to determine depositional setting and predict stratal continuity. The workflow of sequence stratigraphic analysis first identifies the genetic units and bounding surfaces that compose the stratigraphic section in outcrop‚ core‚ well-log and seismic data. The framework

finfishes and mollusks. They also build up coastal elevations by trapping sediment during floods‚ and produce new soil from roots and decaying organic matter. Salt marshes store enormous quantities of carbon‚ essential to plant productivity‚ by‚ in essence‚ breathing in the atmospheric carbon and then using it to grow‚ flourish and increase the height of the soil. Even as the grasses die‚ the carbon remains trapped in the sediment. Salt marshes can be extremely difficult places to live because of

One scholar writes‚ “increased levels of suspended sediment in the water caused the dwindling biodiversity registered in the coastal region. They say it occurs when the effects of global warming lead glaciers near the coast to begin melting‚ discharging large quantities of sediment into the seawater...Their findings: Some species are extremely sensitive to higher sedimentation rates” (Quaile). Melting glaciers are

so it cannot bring the sediment back to the sea. The result is the sediment stays on the beach‚ gradually builds up the beach. Along the beach‚ materials deposited vary in size. Smallest particles are deposited near the water and larger sediments are deposited further inland‚ near the back of the beach. Another factor that may affect the development of depositional landforms is beach type. Drift-aligned beaches form when wave approach the coastline at an angle and sediment is transported along
