Quaternary terraces of the Želivka River

Sedimentology of the of Zayandeh-Rood River alluvial Terraces and the sediment source identification

In this research, three alluvial Terraces that are located in pathway of Zayandeh-Rood River are studied. The river starts from Bakhtiayri Zardkoh mountain and after through Esfahan city ends to Gawkhony lake. Age of alluvial terraces is younger in upstream than downstream and the height level of the terraces decrease relative to current river bed toward the downstream. The terraces were sample...

Rates and processes of soil development on Quaternary terraces in Cajon Pass, California

Field and laboratory analyses of soils on 11 well-dated fluvisil terraces spanning the past 0.5 m.y. demonstrate that a threshold governs changes in several morphological and chemical characteristics of increasingly older soils. Correlations with respect to time among iron species, soil morphology, and soil silt and clay demonstrate that the chronosequence at Cajon Pass reflects primarily an ev...

Recovery of sequences and extent of ancient lake in Jazmourian Playa based on lake terraces in Quaternary

Extended abstract 1-Introduction The natural environment is affected by climate, and its changes have different geomorphic forms. The dominance of different climatic phases and changes in the balance of matter and energy cause different shaping systems in the environment. Ancient lakes are one of the geomorphic forms of the Quaternary period, and today many of these lakes are either complete...
