1. Sedimentology: Sedimentology encompasses the study of modern sediments such as sand, silt, and clay, and the processes that result in their formation (erosion and weathering), transport, deposition and diagenesis. Sedimentologists apply their understanding of modern processes to interpret geologic history through ... (Earth) [100%] 2023-09-30 [Sedimentology] [Earth sciences]...
2. Sedimentology: Sedimentology encompasses the study of modern sediments such as sand, mud (silt), and clay, and understanding the processes that deposit them. It also compares these observations to studies of ancient sedimentary rocks. Sedimentologists apply their understanding of modern processes to ... [100%] 2023-02-04
3. Maturity (sedimentology): In sedimentary geology, maturity describes the composition and texture of grains in clastic rocks, most typically sandstones, resulting from different amounts of sediment transportation. A sediment is mature when the grains in a sediment become well-sorted and well-rounded ... (Earth) [70%] 2022-08-17 [Sedimentology]
4. Winnowing (sedimentology): In sedimentology, winnowing is the natural removal of fine material from a coarser sediment by wind or flowing water. Once a sediment has been deposited, subsequent changes in the speed or direction of wind or water flowing over it can ... (Earth) [70%] 2023-09-01 [Sedimentology] [Separation processes]...
5. Imbrication (sedimentology): In sedimentology, imbrication is a primary depositional fabric consisting of a preferred orientation of clasts such that they overlap one another in a consistent fashion, rather like a run of toppled dominoes. Imbrication is observed in conglomerates and some volcaniclastic ... (Earth) [70%] 2023-10-10 [Sedimentology]
