Much of the state is veneered by deposits of , These sediments are unconsolidated tills, gravels, sands, silts, and clays They effectively mask much of the bedrock geology, particularly in the Southern Peninsula With a few exceptions, the spectacular metallic mineral , many of the disturbances and transformed sedimentary, intrusive ....
The process of converting unconsolidated sediment into consolidated sedimentary rock is known as diagenesis or alternatively lithificationThis process involves compaction and squeezing as ,...
Feb 27, 2004 0183 32 The unconsolidated deposits were laid down during the Pliocene to present and, from oldest to youngest, include continental deposits lacustrine and marsh deposits, older alluvium, younger alluvium, and flood-subbasin...
Superficial deposits refer to geological deposits typically of less than 26 million years old These recent unconsolidated sediments may include stream channel and floodplain deposits, beach sands, talus gravels and glacial drift and moraine All pre-quaternary deposits are referred to as bedrock...

60 NATURE AND CLASSIFICATION OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 61 INTRODUCTION Welcome to Lecture 6 In the last lecture we looked at the nature and classification of , consolidated rock, while sand is an example of an unconsolidated rock , are poorly sorted, because melting ice deposits material of all sizes together...
Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth s surface Sedimentary rocks often have distinctive layering or ,...
Sedimentary Rocks Rivers, oceans, winds, and rain runoff all have the ability to carry the particles washed off of eroding rocks Such material, called detritus, consists of fragments of rocks and mineralsWhen the energy of the transporting current is not strong enough to carry these particles, the particles drop out in the process of sedimentation...
The initial result of many weathering processes are unconsolidated sediments, but these loose accumulations of material can also form from volcanic process Over time, most unconsolidated sediments will harden into sedimentary rocks...
Sapropel, unconsolidated sedimentary deposit rich in bituminous substanc It is distinguished from peat in being rich in fatty and waxy substances and poor in cellulosic material When consolidated into rock, sapropel becomes oil shale , bituminous shale, or boghead coal...
A confined aquifer is an aquifer below the land surface that is saturated with water Layers of impermeable material are both above and below the aquifer, causing it to be under pressure so that when the aquifer is penetrated by a well, the water will rise above the top of the aquifer...

Sedimentary dikes or clastic dikes are vertical bodies of sedimentary rock that cut off other rock layers They can form in two ways When a shallow unconsolidated sediment is composed of alternating coarse grained andimpermeable clay layers the fluid pressure inside the coarser layers may reach a critical value due to lithostatic overburden...

This research has proven that the AMS could be used on unconsolidated deposits, and that the orientation and an approximation of the energy during deposition could be inferred as well It leads to new developments in marine and or fluvial geomorphology, even for unconsolidated sediments...
Abstract Concludes that the plastic kaolinitic clays and associated sediments which overlie deeply weathered basement granite and underlie bauxite deposits of the coastal plain in Surinam and British Guiana represent transported sedimentary clays rather than products of weathering in place...
Sedimentary rocks are rocks formed from sedimentThey are deposited over time, and often show layers which can be seen in cliffsOther types of rock are igneous rock and metamorphic rock Sediments are usually formed from matter which falls to the bottom of oceans and lakThe matter includes tiny pieces of other rocks, and dead animals, plants and microorganisms...
Sorting describes the distribution of grain size of sediments, either in unconsolidated deposits or in sedimentary rocks Very poorly sorted indicates that the sediment sizes are mixed large variance whereas well sorted indicates that the sediment sizes are similar low variance...

Sedimentary deposits can lithify into sedimentary bedrock over time via burial at depth or via chemical processes close to the surface, but our use of the term sedimentary deposits refers only to unconsolidated deposits...

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth s surface Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place The particles that form a sedimentary rock are called sediment, and may be composed of geological ....
