Discoveries of sediment at Montara Beach This lab report is on the trip to Montara beach were we studied sediments on the coast line. In figure 1 it shows the location of Montara beach‚ which is located south of San Francisco near Pacifica. The purpose of the trip was to discover layers of sediment and understand the properties of them‚ like grain size‚ composite‚ organization and so forth. As shown in figure 2 you can see that Montara beach has quaternary sediment‚ meaning its sediment is younger
