Dawn's Sed Strat Lecture Notes: January 2013
http://dawnssedstrat.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Dawn's Sed Strat Lecture Notes. This blog includes my lecture notes for sedimentology and stratigraphy related classes. The focus right now is on UCDavis GEL109. Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Once sediment is produced by weathering, it is available for transport. The two main forces in erosion are fluid flow and gravity. Think about dumping a truck load of fine sand into a fast moving river, it takes time to move all that sediment even if the flow speed is theoretically fast enough to erode fine sand.

Dawn's Sed Strat Lecture Notes. This blog includes my lecture notes for sedimentology and stratigraphy related classes. The focus right now is on UCDavis GEL109. Monday, March 4, 2013. Carbonates - A very brief introduction. Is more abundant in seawater than CO. The actual reaction that takes place is:. The = means the reaction can go either way. If it goes from left to right, calcium carbonate minerals - calcite or aragonite - form. If it goes to the left, calcium carbonate minerals dissolve....Produ...

This provides a reference that can help correlate other stratigraphic sections. Wednesday, March 6, 2013. Step 1: Look for sedimentary structures that are characteristic of a specific environment or process. Hummocky cross stratification - waves plus currents (storms). Mud drapes in sandstone - flow stops (tides). Step 2:...

Tidal currents flow on and off shore every day or twice a day. When tidal ranges are high, tidal currents can be strong, redistributing sediment either onshore or offshore. These tidal currents often become channelized, and they begin to act like rivers, with meanders, etc. All deltas (by definition) have their sedi...
