Lake - Sedimentation, Erosion, Deposition: Lake sediments are comprised mainly of clastic material (sediment of clay, silt, and sand sizes), organic debris, chemical precipitates, or combinations of these. The relative abundance of each depends upon the nature of the local drainage basin, the climate, and the relative age of a lake. The sediments of a lake in a …

ادامه مطلبSediment gravity flows are catastrophic subaerial and subaqueous events that occur at various frequencies. An event can originate from sliding of unstable sediment mass on a slope, in which case the trigger is often by storm, tidal wave, seismic shock, or heavy rainfall. It can also originate from flood wave in a river that debouches onto the ...

ادامه مطلب¾ Settling/Sedimentation: Settling/sedimentation occurs due to the slowing of a particle's velocity as it passes through the filter. If the particles are slowed sufficiently, they will not have enough velocity to travel through the filter. ¾ Adsorption: Adsorption is the primary mechanism of particulate removal in a rapid sand filter. In
ادامه مطلبThe Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) has been attributed to the rapid release of ∼2000 × 10 9 metric tons of carbon in the form of methane. In theory, oxidation and ocean absorption of this carbon should have lowered deep-sea pH, thereby triggering a rapid (<10,000-year) shoaling of the calcite compensation depth (CCD), …

ادامه مطلبThe emiprical expression: % Org-C = 0.0030· R · S 0.30 p s (1−θ) implies that the sedimentary organic carbon content (% Org-C) doubles with each 10-fold increase in sedimentation rate (S), assuming that other factors remain constant; i.e., primary production (R), porosity (φ) and sediment density (p s). This expression also predicts the ...

ادامه مطلبTypes of Rapid Sand Filter. There are a number of different types of Rapid sand filters depending upon bed depth (e.g., shallow, conventional and deep bed) and the type of filtering medium used (mono-, dual-, and multimedia). A further classification can be made based on the driving force as gravity Water Filters or pressure Water filters.
