Question

Please help me!

Thank you!!

013. Study the landscape shown incorporating a number of sedimentary environments- from vous knowledge of grain size, rounding and sorting processes that occur in each environment draw (not write) in the expected sedimentary characteristics in the white boxes provided. Consider the degree to which cach lateral transport process is able to create particles of different sizes and induce rounding and sorting of the grains and make sure your drawings reflect these differences. The characteristics of the fluvial delta have been provided as an example (medium grained, well sorted, well rounded) Glacial environments Aeolian environments Fluvial environments Colluvial environments huvial delta, Cretoesue shee Marine environments Deep se Order the environments from the largest grain size through to the smallest by writing the environment in the boxes, use; deep sea, shelf, fluvial, colluvial, acolian, glacial, delta, and then circle the environment that represents the highest energy Smallest Largest

Answer 1

Continental

1. Alluvial

2. Aeolian – Processes due to wind activity

3. Fluvial

4. Lacustrine

Transitional

1. Deltaic – Silt deposition landform at the mouth of a river

2. Tidal

3. Lagoonal – A shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs

4. Beach – Area of loose particles at the edge of the sea or other body of water

5. Lake – A body of relatively still water, in a basin surrounded by land

Marine

• Shallow water marine environment
  • Upper shoreface – The portion of the seafloor that is shallow enough to be agitated by everyday wave action
  • Lower shoreface – The portion of the seafloor, and the sedimentary depositional environment, that lies below the everyday wave base
• Deep water marine environment – Flat area on the deep ocean floor
• Reef – A bar of rock, sand, coral or similar material, lying beneath the surface of water

Others

• Evaporite – A water-soluble mineral sediment formed by evaporation from an aqueous solution
• Glacial
• Volcanic
• Tsunami – Sedimentary unit deposited by a tsunami
