Document Summary
Identify a clastic sedimentary rock based on its particle size: draw and describe the vertical and lateral velocity profiles of a, describe the difference between laminar and turbulent flow, and (ans). Sediments are formed by the products of weathering. The weathering products can be classified into two groups: the material that goes into solution (dissolved salts) and the more stable material that remains as distinct particles. The later consists primarily of quartz, feldspar and clay minerals. Soluble salts generate carbonate (sediments composed of calcite) and evaporite (occurs in areas of high evaporation, halite and gypsum). stream. (ans). Sediments in the centre of the stream will travel much faster laterally through a stream. where they are found in nature. (ans). Laminar flow: is characterized by a low reynolds number (describes the resistance to motion), and slow velocity. In a perfect condition there would be no resistance of the water molecules so overtime the velocity of the flow would gradually increase.
