coarse sediment in a sentence
Examples
- This means that coarser sediment particles can be transported and the deposited sediment can be coarser than in deeper environments.
- They can be found all over the world and are most noticeable on shorelines with coarser sediment such as pebble beaches.
- Another factor that is preventing the supply of coarse sediment to the lagoon barrier is the damming of the Waitaki River.
- Fine sediment falls back into the rootwad pit or travels downstream, but coarse sediments form a local rock veneer around the rootwad.
- As shown in Figure 4, prior to breakwater construction fine and coarse sediments were transported from the south and deposited on Washdyke Barrier.
- However, after the breakwater was built the coarse sediment is unable to reach the barrier as it accumulates at the port's southern side.
- Reflective beaches are typically steep in profile with a narrow shoaling and surf zone, composed of coarse sediment, and characterised by surging breakers.
- Therefore, once the cusp is established, coarser sediment is constantly being deposited on the horn and finer sediment is being eroded away from the embayments.
- The crashing of the wave into the cusps slows its velocity, causing coarser sediment to fall out of suspension and be deposited on the horns.
- This may be a factor in their recent serious declines; silver perch may rely on their eggs settling onto clean, well oxygenated substrates of coarse sediments.
