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.

2.A tidal flat is a big sand or mud area, which has no recognizable plants in that area.

3. Reefs are rocks that are located under the water and also some fish eat them.

4. The** continental shelf is the perimeter all around each continent together with coastal plain. **

5. The continental slope and rise is the continental rise which is an underwater feature found between the continental slope and the abyssal plain. This feature can be found all around the world, and it represents the last stage in the boundary line between the continents and the deepest part of the ocean.

6. A byssal plains are flat or very gently sloping areas in the oceans basin floor. They are one of the most of Earth's flattest and smoothest places on Earth. || 1. There is muddy sediments in a lagoon, rich in organic material. The muddy sediment can eventually from a rock

2.Tidal Flats include sediments that are underwater and muddy sediments too. 3. Reefs include sediments underwater. 4. Continental shelves are covered with terrigenous sediments that happen from the erosion of continents. Another sediments is relict sediment which occurs from little rivers

5. The continental slope and rise has the same sediments as the continental shelf which is terrigenous and relict.

6. Abyssal Plain has fine grained sediments which mostly includes clay and silt. ||

|| 1. A lagoon is a body of water surrounded by a group of islands, seperated from the ocean.

2. A Tidal Flat is an area of no growth, but a large amount of mud and soil.

3. Reefs are the rocks underneath the water that are eaten occasionally by fish.

4. The** continental shelf is the surrounding perimeter around a continent. **

5. The continental slope and rise is the continental stop between the underwater abyssial plain and the continental plain.

6. A byssal plains are sloping areas of the oceanfloor beneath the water. || 1. Muddy, rich in organic material.

2. Underwater, nuddy sediments.

3. Udnerwater sediments

4. Terrigenous sediments and relict sediment from continents and rivers.

5. The continental slope and rise has terrigenous and relict sediments.

6. Clay and slit sediments; mainly fine grained. || Tidal Flats Reefs Continental Shelf continental slope & rise Abyssal Plain || Lagoons Kauai lagoons gets plenty of sun and a lot of rain making all kinds of things grow.

Tidal Flats this one is located in Germany. It is huge and covers a lot of the land.

Reefs These are coral reefs and are said that they are the rainforest of the sea.

Continental Shelf this is the outer continental shelf that was created on august 7, 1953.

Continental Slope and Rise A broad and shallow submarine terrace of crust forming at the edge.

Abyssal Plain Much like the Continental Slope and rise, it is shallow and it has crust forming edges. || Lagoons Some of the sedimentary rocks found there are limestone because of the grass and the trees around there.

Some sedimentary rocks found are Chert and Evaporites.

Because it is underwater, some sedimetary rocks found are Dolostone and maybe limestone.

Because of the grassland mountains, Chert and evaporite sedimetary rocks could be found.

Some Sedimetary rocks found are Dolstone and Chert.

Some sedimetary rocks found are dolstone and chert. || http://environment-day-2.wikispaces.com/ ||  ||   ||
