This type of setting could allow for “the collection and focussing of sediments and relatively young organic matter‚ such as bottom-water aggregates that are recurrently suspended and deposited at shallower

Hardrock a term used loosely for igneous and metamorphic rock‚ as distinguished from sedimentary rock. The hardrocks of Bangladesh are of four types: (i) Maddhyapara subsurface hardrock‚ (ii) Bholaganj-Jaflong hardrock concretions‚ (iii) Tetulia-Patgram-Panchagarh hardrock concretions‚ and (iv) Chittagong-Chittagong Hill Tracts sedimentary concretions. The items ii‚ iii and iv are usually considered as gravel deposits. Maddhyapara subsurface hardrock In 1974-75 the geological survey of bangladesh

Weathering & Erosion Weathering is the process that produces change in the surface of rocks exposed to the atmosphere and/or hydrosphere. Physical weathering is breaking rock by force. ex: hitting‚ scratching‚ cracking Frost action (AKA ice wedging)- Water seeps into small cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands creating great pressure. The crack widens and allows water to seep deeper into the rock. (Robert Frost’s Mending Wall makes a reference to a frost heave

Task question In my task question I am going to study why does the velocity vary downstream? To carry out this investigation we will be going to Carding Mill valley; carding mill valley is located near the border of Wales‚ North West England in Shropshire. (This can be seen on image 1) (Image 1) (Image 1) This means we are collecting primary data which is mainly so we can get accurate and reliable set of results. In order to answer the task question

built to disperse energy- but not quite that much energy. The Mississippi delta is subsiding and eroding Deltas are normally slowly increasing in size due to sediment deposited by the river. The slow increase is due to a slight imbalance between sedimentation by the river‚ and sinking of the delta due to consolidation of deeper sediments. The balance has been upset by the construction of levees and dams along the Mississippi River leading to rapid erosion of the Mississippi River delta in Louisiana

How Natural Processes Operate at Coastal Geographic Environment. Natural Processes are actions or events that have natural causes‚ which result in natural events. The three main coastal environment processes that operate at Muriwai are Coastal Erosion‚ Coastal Transportation and Coastal Deposition. The elements that interact to produce natural processes are wind‚ waves and tides. Each phenomenon at Muriwai’s coastal geographic environment has been produced by interaction. Coastal
