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. etc. || [] || A beach is where land is at sea level. Mostly covered in sand beaches are known for fun times. || Mostly small grained minerals. ||

[] || 1. An alluvial fan is a deposit that is shaped like a fan and spreads by canyons. 2. A fluvial environment is a geography that contains processes that have something to do with rivers, streams, and their deposits. 3. A lacustrine environment contains many lakes and those water types. 4. Deserts are regions on the Earth that are usually very dry and don't get a lot of rain. 5. Swamps are the wetlands that have big areas of land by shallow bodies of water. 6. Deltas are usually at the mouth of rivers that flow into oceans, seas, lakes, etc. 7. Beaches and barrier islands are landforms that are very narrow and parallel to the main coast line. || 1. deposits are poorly sorted 2. muddy sediments 3. Glaciofluvial or fluvioglacial volcano- sedimentary rocks 4. buff in color with low contents of organic material 5. remove nutrients 6. sediment angle of repose 7. build back by overuturning sediments come from along shore || || 1.) Alluvial fan- a fan shaped deposit when a streams slope is bothered alot by nature. [] 2.)Fluvial enviorments(rivers)- a long body of water that usually ends up connecting into an ocean or lake. 3.) Lacustrine enviorments(lakes)- large bodies of water that contain fresh water, and it doesnt connect with another larger body of water, such as an ocean. 4.)Deserts- Its the most driest place of any other climate; it's usaully very hot, and it has lots of sand. 5.)Swamp-it's a large wetland that usually has tempory or permenant floods. 6.)Delta-Body of water that's formed where a stream or lake enters on an ocean; basically it's like an entrance. 7.) Beaches & Barrier islands-A large body of water that's usually found adjacent to a ocean or a lake.

[] || they are poorly deposited in the slope of the streams

2.) There are much different type (muddy) of sediments that are formed because of rocks and other type of materials in the water. 3.) lacustrine sediments are believed to have come from within lakes. 4.)Desert- most dirt is formed from bare rocks. 5.)swamp- there is a lot of organic material sediments in a swamp, which remove nutrients. 6.)Sediments are angle 7.)are build back by overturning. ||
