Sediment Accumulation and Response to Sea-Level Changes

Schematic representation of Atlantic-type ocean floor. (From Chaney and Fang, 1986 Reprinted with permission. Copyright ASTM.) [Pg.19]

Erosion of the high parts of the continental relief produces the terrigenous (land-derived) particulate (clastic) sediments (18.5E9 Mg/yr Lisitzin, 1991) and the dissolved fluvial load (4.4E9 Mg/yr), transported to the upper shelf level by water. In addition, minor quantities of wind-blown (aerosols) and ice-rafted sediments (cryosols) are also transported to the [Pg.19]

Seismo-stratigraphic surveys deep-sea drilling and comparative studies of fluvial loads, aerosols, cryosols, oceanic suspension and dissolved loads and their sedimentation rates reveal that the sediments mostly accumulate at the base of the slopes, forming the largest [Pg.20]
