  2. Bouma sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouma_sequence

    The Bouma sequence specifically describes the ideal vertical succession of structures deposited by low-density (i.e., low sand concentration, fine-grained) turbidity currents. An alternate classification scheme that is generally called the Lowe sequence exists for the ideal vertical sequence of structures deposited by high-density flows. [2]

  3. Turbidite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidite

    As a consequence, a slightly different set of sedimentary structures develops in turbidites deposited by high-density turbidity currents. This different set of structures is known as the Lowe sequence, which is a descriptive classification that complements, but does not replace, the Bouma sequence. [2]

  4. Lowe sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowe_sequence

    The Lowe sequence describes a set of sedimentary structures in turbidite sandstone beds that are deposited by high-density turbidity currents. It is intended to complement, not replace, the better known Bouma sequence, which applies primarily to turbidites deposited by low-density (i.e., low-sand concentration), turbidity currents.

  5. Turbidity current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity_current

    The transport and deposition of the sediments in narrow alpine reservoirs is often caused by turbidity currents. They follow the thalweg of the lake to the deepest area near the dam, where the sediments can affect the operation of the bottom outlet and the intake structures. [8]

  6. Sediment gravity flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment_gravity_flow

    Application of an external pressure to the suspension will initiate flow. This external pressure can be applied by a seismic shock, which may transform loose sand into a highly viscous suspension as in quicksand. Generally as soon as the flow begins to move, fluid turbulence results and the flow rapidly evolves into a turbidity current.

  7. Soft-sediment deformation structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-sediment_deformation...

    These structures often are faulted. [2] Dish structures are thin, dish-shaped formations that normally occur in siltstones and sandstones. The size of each "dish" often ranges from 1 cm to 50 cm in size, and forms as a result of dewatering. Pillar structures often appear along with dish structures and also form by dewatering. They have a ...

  8. Turbidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity

    Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of both water clarity and water quality. Fluids can contain suspended solid matter consisting of particles of many different sizes.

  9. Silt fence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silt_fence

    Silt fence installed up-slope of a vegetated stream buffer. A silt fence, sometimes (misleadingly) called a filter fence, [1] is a temporary sediment control device used on construction sites to protect water quality in nearby streams, rivers, lakes and seas from sediment (loose soil) in stormwater runoff.
