Document Summary
Geology week 5: draw the different types of streams and label the parts (i. e. point bar, intrachannel etc. ). River bend migrates sideways in the direction of the cutbank. Sediments eventually clog the stream path overtime; new stream path is found: very low gradient, low velocity, fine sand and clay particles, draw a shoreline labeling the different zones. Make a complimentary chart or table that lists these zones and the different processes (i. e. fair-weathered waves, tides etc. ), resulting sedimentary features (i. e. ripples) and rock type (i. e. Sun and the moon: neap tide tides are lowest due to the oblique angle of the moon relative to the. Abyssal plain large expanse of ocean floor deeper than the storm wave base. Organisms with silica shells die and settle on the abyssal plain, result in chert deposits with burial. Coral reef organisms in a coral reef build their structures out of calcium carbonate that later solidifies to limestone or dolostone.
