Recognition and significance of streamflow-dominated piedmont facies in extensional basins
Alluvial slopes are piedmonts characterized by parallel steam channels rather than alluvial fans. They are common landforms in extensional basins of the south-western United States but have received little attention from geomorphologists or sedimentologists. Persistence of channellized flow across piedmonts, as opposed to sheetflooding due to loss of flow confinement on alluvialfan surfaces, di...
متن کاملGlobal distribution of naturally occurring marine hypoxia on continental margins
Hypoxia in the ocean influences biogeochemical cycling of elements, the distribution of marine species and the economic well being of many coastal countries. Previous delineations of hypoxic environments focus on those in enclosed seas where hypoxia may be exacerbated by anthropogenically induced eutrophication. Permanently hypoxic water masses in the open ocean, referred to as oxygen minimum z...
متن کاملشیمی کانی و سنگ‌زایی متاپلیت‌های مجموعه دگرگونی - آذرین شترکوه (جنوب‌شرق شاهرود)
Late Neoproterozoic (548-579 million years ago) metamorphic - igneous Shotor Kuh complex is cropped out in SE Shahrood, consist of a various range of rocks including metabasite, metapelite, metagraywake, metapsammite and metacarbonate. Metapelites include phyllite to gnessis and migmatite. Metamorphism intensity in the highest degree, progressed to anatexy and formation of granitic melts. Ther...
متن کاملExtensional and transtensional continental arc basins: case studies from the southwestern United States
Extensional and transtensional continental arc basins preserve very thick, continuous sequences and are an important contributor to the growth of continents; therefore, it is important to understand how they evolve. In this chapter, I describe four continental arc basin types, using Mesozoic to Cenozoic case studies from the SW US: (1) early-stage, low-lying extensional; (2) early-stage, low-ly...
متن کاملFast and Slow Compaction in Sedimentary Basins
A mathematical model of compaction in sedimentary basins is presented and analyzed. Compaction occurs when accumulating sediments compact under their own weight, expelling pore water in the process. If sedimentation is rapid or the permeability is low, then high pore pressures can result, a phenomenon which is of importance in oil drilling operations. Here we show that one-dimensional compactio...
