Bands of soft rock such as clay and sand are weaker and therefore they can be eroded quickly. This process forms bays. A bay is an inlet of the sea where the land curves inwards, usually with a ...

"Our data are confirmed by the archaeological context as well," she continued. "Bones and hundreds of osteoderms of the ground sloth are in the same depositional context. "In addition, the skeleton is ...

Unique depositional processes and weathering have given these towers their spectacular black and orange banded appearance, formed by biological processes of cyanobacteria (single cell photosynthetic ...

The morphology of blowouts is characterised by a deflation (erosional) basin floor or depression, lateral erosional walls, and a downwind depositional lobe (Figures 2 and 3, photo 6). The sand ...

Large mountain ranges have depositional basins on both sides. These large mountain ranges can be created by subduction - volcanic mountain ranges - or by collisions - metamorphic mountain ranges.

The stratigraphic profile used here is from the site of Namu. It should be noted that this profile was created through several depositional episodes. The author has chosen to outline the distinctive ...

and the 20 or so Neanderthal “burials” found since then have all been seriously questioned—many believe they are the result of natural features and depositional processes. Now, a research ...

The diagram shows the building of a spit by longshore drift across the mouth of a river. Sandspits often have a curved or hooked end as a secondary wind and wave direction curves the end of the ...

"Modern" refers to deposits whose geometry and surface morphology reflect original depositional conditions, usually on the seafloor or in the shallow subsurface (Mutti & Normark 1991). "Ancient ...
