6. Reading Sedimentary Deposits
To interpret the sedimentary record
correctly, we must first understand
something about modern sedimentary
systems.
1) the sources of sediment
2) transportation pathways
3) places where sediment is
accumulating today, such as deltas,
beaches, and rivers.
8. Reading the Story
From the composition of
sediment (what it is
made up of) we can read
exactly what happened
on earth at that time.
This can include:
- Animals
- Temperate Change
- Natural Disasters
- People
Lets have a look at the
Grand Canyon is USA.
