About this document

Understanding Coastal Sedimentary Environments by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Coastal sedimentary environments include deltas, beaches, and tidal flats. Deltas are formed at the mouth of rivers where there is significant detrital sedimentation of sands and silts. The development of a simple delta begins when river sediments are deposited at the mouth, forming alluvial deposits, and then branching as river and marine currents interact. The factors that control the development of a delta include climate, water discharge.
