pedogeomorphic evolution of an alluvial fan in central iran
despite of suitable geological and climatic conditions for forming and evolution of alluvial fans and importance of this landform as soil and water resources in arid regions, there are limited studies about this landform in iran. in the present study, evolution and pedogenic development of geomorphic surfaces of an alluvial fan in eastern isfahan were studied by using remote sensing, field and ...
متن کاملOscillation of mineral compositions in Core SG-1b, western Qaidam Basin, NE Tibetan Plateau
Uplift of the Tibetan Plateau since the Late Miocene has greatly affected the nature of sediments deposited in the Qaidam Basin. However, due to the scarcity of continuously dated sediment records, we know little about how minerals responded to this uplift. In order to understand this response, we here present results from the high-resolution mineral profile from a borehole (7.3-1.6 Ma) in the ...
متن کاملControls on alluvial fan long - profi les
Water and debris fl ows exiting confi ned valleys have a tendency to deposit sediment on steep fans. On alluvial fans where water transport of gravel predominates, channel slopes tend to decrease downfan from ~0.10–0.04 to ~0.01 across wide ranges of climate and tectonism. Some have argued that this pattern refl ects grain-size fi ning downfan such that higher threshold slopes are required just...
متن کاملTypes of Martian Fan - Shaped Sedimentary Deposits
Introduction: Deltas, fans and channels on Mars clearly indicate surface water in the past. These landforms contain valuable information about the duration and magnitude of surface-water flow, with obvious implications for potential life on Mars. Martian fan-shaped deposits such as deltas and alluvial fans show architectural elements similar to those of terrestrial analogs, e.g. lobes, terraces...
متن کامل8 Climatic Hypotheses of Alluvial-fan Evolution in Death Valley Are Not Testable
For the last two decades, climatically based interpretations have been the major focus in evolutionary studies of dryland alluvial fans. Climatic hypotheses to explain the development of alluvial fans in southern Death Valley, however, do not fare well when they are assessed with criteria used by philosophers of science. First and foremost, dating techniques do not have the chronometric precisi...
