Fig.10 Schematic cross-section for the Pearl River deltaic sequences showing the sequence is prograding with a dropping sea level 4000 years ago, while the sequence is aggradating with a more stable sea level 2000 years ago. During the subsequent stage, tides and monsoonal discharge became the dominant mechanisms as the sea level began to ...
A tidal freshwater delta [33] is a sedimentary deposit formed at the boundary between an upland stream and an estuary, in the region known as the "subestuary". [34] Drowned coastal river valleys that were inundated by rising sea levels during the late Pleistocene and subsequent Holocene tend
Rivers of Canada. Canada holds vast reserves of water: its rivers discharge nearly 7% of the world's renewable water supply, [66] Canada has over 2,000,000 lakes—563 greater than 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi)—which is more than any other country and has the third largest amount of glacier water.

The environment of deposition for these sediments has changed, varying spatially and temporally. When the ocean level was high shallow marine deposits occurred; when they were low fluvial and deltaic deposits form the majority of mass. [26] From the Triassic until the early Jurassic, faulting localized as extension faulting and wrench faulting.

Europe's most significant feature is the dichotomy between highland and mountainous Southern Europe and a vast, partially underwater, northern plain ranging from England in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east. These two halves are separated by the Pyrenees and the Alps-Carpathians mountain chain.
