Sedimentary environments - wiki post homework instructions [|Sed_Envi_wiki.doc]

Please label each picture and descriptions with a number so I can tell which picture goes with which description. Put the URL in the caption for each picture. As usual, it's best to either do the assignment in a word document and paste as you go. If you would like, you may simply put a link to your personal Wiki page to avoid loosing your work as you go.

2. etc. || 1. An alluvial fan occurs when a river is channeled and empties into a valley floor. As soon as the river is able to spread out as it leaves the mountains, it forms a fan shape at the base of the mountain.

2. etc. || 1. Larger particles such as boulders are found toward the mouth of the river at the center of the fan because there is a rapid decrease in energy of the stream as the river meets the valley floor. Particle sizes decrease with distance further away from the mouth.

7) [] || 1) The alluvial fan is when a river is dumped onto land and a type of deposit in a shape of a fan forms at the mouth of a mountain canyon. This looks like a fan because the sediments are eroded and deposit on the floor of a mountain.

2)Fluvial is when a river or a stream where there are sediments that are being transported down by water. The deposits are formed by a river. 3) Lacustrine environments consist of sediments that had been transported by a river or stream but most likely the water in these areas has already been evaporated. 4)Deserts are types of areas that almost have no precipitation and are considered to be very warm and dry areas. 5)Swamps are known to have still water which tends not to move very much such as rivers or streams. They are lands near bodies of water. 6)Deltas are a type of landform which is most of the time created at the mouth of a river or a stream where water most likely to flow. 7)Beaches and barrier islands are types of areas which sand creates and have bodies of water surrounding it. || 1) The rocks that have formed on the alluvial fan have some large pieces of sediments.

2)Coarse debris such as boulders and sand are the type of sediments in fluvial.

3)The sediments are fined grained and consist of silt and clay. 4) The most common type of sediment in the desert is sand. 5)The sediments in swamps mostly consist of very dark brown mud which was created due to the water. 6)Sediment deposition which water carries the sediments in rivers. 7)The types of sediments that are found in these areas are sand and sandstone. || See comments- PB ||  ||   || 2.Fluvial Enviornment 3.Lacustrine Environment 4.Deserts 5.Swamps 6.Deltas 7.Beaches and Barrier Islands || 1.

2. Fluvial Enviornment is a place that included many trees and high dirt cliffs

3.Lacustrine environments is a place that looks like a lake and is surrounded by many trees.

4.A desert is a lanscape or region that gets almost no precipitation.

5.A swamp is a wetland with permanent flooding of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water.

6. A delta is a landform that is created at the mouth of a river where that river flows into a ocean, see or lake.

7. It is a coastal landforms and a type of a brrier system, that are reletivley narrow strips of sand that is parallel to the mainland coast. || 1. Alluvial fan has large sediments in it.

2.The fluvial environment has dark colored sediments and also has sandstones

3.The sediments here included dark colored mud under the water and also maybe sandstones.

4.The sediment mostly found in deserts is sand.

5. Some sedimnets can include little sandstones.

6. Sediments that can be in deltas are little sandstone on the grass around in the delta.

7. Sediments can include little sandstones under the water. || 2. Fluvial is when a river or a stream where sediments that are being transported down by water. Like erosion. 3. Lacustrine environments consist of sediments that had been transported by a river or stream but dried up majorly. 4. Deserts are dry, sand land area where there are no percipitiation and a lot of heat. 5. Swamps are bodies of water that does not move around very much. 6. Deltas are landforms which is most of the time created at the mouth of a river or a stream where water most likely to flow. 7. Beaches and barrier islands are areas where sand is surrounded by sand and sediment. || 1.

**It is a famous river and looks beutiful.
 * Fluvial Environment (river)**

Lacustrine Environment (lakes) the climate is warm around mostly found northern of the equator.

Deserts** Dry located In LosAngeles. Not much rain usually occurs.

Swamps A lot of rainful and has a lot of rivers.

Deltas wherever there is bodies of river, usually there is a delta.

Beaches & Barrier Islands Warm, sometimes huid weather. somerainfall can occur. || Few boulders are found around the Fan. Sandstones also could be made by the fan

Sandstone in the trees are, Mostly is detrital sedimentary rocks.
 * Fluvial Environment (river)**

Some organic rocks also chemical sedimentary as well.
 * Lacustrine Environment (lakes) **

Quartz sandstone mostly because of the sand.
 * Deserts **

Swamps few evaporites and chert

Deltas Similar with the swamp with few cherts and evaporites

Beaches & Barrier Islands Sandstone found in the sand and dolstone beneathe the water. || [] fluvial [] Lacustrine [] deserts [] swamps [] deltas [] beaches and barrier islands [] || 1.Alluvial fan is when a river is dumped onto land and forms at the mouth of the canyon 2.fluvial is when a river or stream is when it has sediments being transported down by water. 3.lacustrine environments consist of sediments that had been transported by a river or stream but in areas that evaporated 4.deserts are types of areas that have no percipitation and are warm and dry during the day but cold during nights. 5.swamps are known to have water which tends not to move such as rivers or streams but are still a form of body of water. 6. deltas are landforms which are created at the mouth of streams where water comes down to. 7. beaches and barrier islands are types of areas where sand creates bodies of water that surrounds it. || 1.rocks formed have pieces of sediments.

2.coarse debris like debris and sand are the type of sediments.

3. sediments are fine grained and are silt and clay.

2. Fluvial Environment is a river or stream that recieves the sand and gravel, and other smaller sediments that are carried away.

3.Lacustrine environments are formed at the bottom or along the shore of lakes.

4. Desert is the region that doesn't receive precipitation. No vegetation exist in the deserts.

5. Swamp is a wetland feature of large area of land by shallow bodies of water. It is covered by aquatic vegetation. The water of a swamp may be fresh water or seawater.

6. The deltas are probably due to very recent enhanced erosion from overuse of the land.

7. Beaches is an area of sand sloping down to the water of a sea or lake. Barrier Island is a ridge of sand that runs parallel to the main coast but is seperated from it by a bay. || 1. There are large pieces of sediments that are not very round at the center while smaller pieces of sediments are found outside of the fans.

2. Large pieces of sediments such as sand and gravel are typically deposited in a fast moving river while smaller particles of sediments are carried away.

3. Larger sediments indicate dry climate during lower lake level while smaller sediments imply wet climate during higher lake level.

4. Soil, sand, and minerals are eroded from land by the water or air. These sediments settle to the bottom of surface water.

5. These are consist of little sanstones and dark brown mud created by the dirty water.

6.Water carries some sandstones to the river.

7. Sand, gravel and fragments are washed to sea beaches by streams and rivers. Sediments on the Barrier Islands move in the breaker zone by waves in longshore drifts. ||
