b) Faults develop and the outer blocks move upwards. Reverse faults are formed. c) Central block stays in place and a rift valley is formed. RIFT VALLEY LAKES These have been formed on the floor of the rift valley and they vary in size, depth and salinity. Examples of the salty lakes are Lake Natron, and Lake Magadi.
This isolation may be due to human practices or natural occurrences which drive aggradation or in‐stream incision. When high flows occur under these physical conditions, the stream or river has a restricted area to flow and higher flow velocities and energies are produced. Ideally, during high flows the river system would be able to over top its banks and spread over a large flat area surrounding the river, the floodplain (Figure 1). Floodplain reconnection reestablishes the connection between the stream system and its floodplain. This is accomplished through lowering or setting back natural or constructed levees currently blocking the flow of water out of the main channel.
12.18 (A) Which of the six wells in Figure 12.25 in Ch. 12 should be flowing artesian wells? Wells #3 and #6 should be flowing artesian wells. ?? In Figures 12.19A and B, two depressions are occupied by water, whereas others are dry.
12.18 (A) Which of the six wells in Figure 12.25 in chapter 12 should be flowing artesian wells? Wells 4, 5, and 6. In Figures 12.19A and B, two depressions are occupied by water, whereas others are dry. 12.19 (A) Explain this presence and absence of ponds in these two figures. The presence of ponds in the figures is seen where there is impermeable soil that
F6 is the grain supported packstone and is back into storm conditions in the deeper marine environment. Finally F7 is representative of storm conditions with the large rugose corals, rip-up clasts and abundance of other bioclasts. Likely this is moving into another shallowing up sequence indicated by the appearance of sparite instead of micrite. These higher energy facies are clearly a lighter gray than the black micrite layers and there is a gradational change in color as the unit moves through the shallowing upward sequence. The 2 transects measured are separated by a fault; the bedding features and undulating contacts generally remain constant laterally but the transect on the south side of the fault had somewhat thicker beds which probably indicate beds pinching out
I am going to find out whether the wave height and wave frequency determines the type of wave. There are two different types of waves and they are constructive waves and destructive waves. Constructive waves have a stronger swash and have a weaker backwash. Constructive waves deposits sediments and it forms the beach. Destructive waves have a stronger backwash and have a weaker swash.
The tide is high Happisburgh Coastal erosion happisburugh Coastal erosion is when the water and/or wind carry out sediments of land; sediment is rocks, dirt and earth. It happens mostly on beaches and shorelines because they had no vegetation or plants to be a natural protection against the water. People believe that it is just the water that erodes the coast, but both the water and wind are main factors that constantly change the boundary between the land and water. The beach can be affected severely or lightly depending on the lunar tides and the difference in water density. Coastal erosion in Happisburgh Happisburgh is to the east of England and in 2001 had a population of 1,372 in 607 households.
One of those is runoff, where a continuous layer of water runs down the cliff face, it will pick up particles of silt and clay as it flows downward. This is due to the lack of vegetation to anchor the soil down. Sub-aerial weathering happens dominantly with less resistant rock such as clay. This is being stopped with coastal defences, which stops the cycle of coastal erosion. The type of processes which shape the coastal landscape all links together in a cycle.
The unconfined aquifer, or the upper aquifer, (see cross and contour map) consists of a predominately sand rich and partial gravel unit and is approximately 50 feet thick. The upper aquifer pinches out between wells TH4 and TH3 and lies within the proximity of gage 3. The confined or lower aquifer is a fine sand and fine gravel unit confined by clays that extends the entire length of the stream. Below is the measured recharge and discharge values. Discussion The recharge of the lower aquifer is predominately from the NW where the land elevation is higher and steeper (see map).
The Gulf of Mexico’s Dead Zone Earl Kuehne Columbia Southern University 06/29/2015 The Gulf of Mexico’s Dead Zone The Dead Zone is an area in Mexico with low oxygen levels and covers an area of 13,080 square kilometers. The zone is caused by the Mississippi River that enriches it with phosphorous and nitrogen nutrients. The increased deposits of nutrients into the river facilitate the growth of algae, thus resulting in the development of algae blooms, which alter food chains and deplete oxygen. Seasonal variations cause fluctuations in the size of the dead zone and the size is sometimes affected by farming activities. The formation of the Dead Zone follows a scientific process and in Mexico, various environmental policies
