GEOL 3200 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Diagenesis, Cross-Bedding, Turbidity
Document Summary
Bring full sized scantron, bring student id and calculator, formula sheet will be provided only for calculations, difference between laminar and turbulent flow, know froud number equation and what it relates to, bottom layer (surface) relates to shear stress, boundary layer causes shear stress (cid:224) velocity profile, viscous sublayer on bed, hydraulically smooth, hydraulically rough, entrainment: how sediments are lifted and what kind of force is associated, as flow velocity gets bigger and pasts critical barrier, (critical threshold) the sediment will lift and be transported, stoke"s law of settling: equation is provided if needed, predicts settling velocity of particles in water, saltation mode of transportation, deposits of fluid flows, nature of deposition, turbidity (graph from grain size and division, sediment texture: look at homework and exercises, measuring method (lithified/loose, average grain size, sorting, skewness, mode, median, mean (cid:224)formulas given.
