Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continental margins of the world constitute the most impressive and largest physiographic feature of the earth's surface, and one of fundamentally great geological significance. Continental margins have been the subject of increasing attention in recent years, an interest focused by a body of new data that has provided new insights into their character. This interest was further stimulated by the realization that, in addition to the abundant living resources, continental margins contain petroleum and mineral resources that are accessible with existing technology. This realization, along with their basic geological importance, has provoked further research into the nature of continental margins throughout the world. A summary of these findings, as related to both recent and ancient continental margins, is the subject of this book. At various times in the past we had been approached individually to prepare a basic reference to continental margins; we then proposed to do such a volume jointly. However, the stimulus for the present volume eventually arose from a Penrose Conference arranged through the Geological Society of America. This conference was attended by specialists of numerous disciplines and from throughout the world, many of whom insisted that such a volume would be both timely and useful. Consequently, we agreed to undertake the task of assembling this book, with the objectives of making it available as soon and as inexpensively as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Strata-Bound and Stratiform Ore Deposits, Volume 7: Au, U, Fe, Mn, Hg, Sb, W, and P Deposits focuses on the characteristics, properties, origins, and structures of Au, U, Fe, Mn, Hg, Sb, W, and P deposits. The selection first elaborates on gold in the Proterozoic sediments of South Africa, nature of the Witwatersrand gold-uranium deposits, and origin of Western-States type uranium mineralization. Discussions focus on tectonic conditions, sedimentation, mineralization and alteration, architecture of the Witwatersrand Basin, source of wealth in the Witwatersrand Basin, gold mineralization in South Africa, and ground-rules for gold prospecting. The text then ponders on origin of the Precambrian banded iron-formations, aspects of the sedimentary petrology of cherty iron-formation, and genetic problems and environmental features of volcanosedimentary iron-ore deposits of the Lahn-Dill Type. Concerns cover geological setting, crystallization structures, origin of cherty iron-formations, similarities and differences between banded and oolitic iron-formations, regional geologic distribution, and general diagnostic statement. The manuscript examines sedimentary phosphate deposits, ancient manganese deposits, and freshwater ferromanganese deposits. The selection is a dependable reference for researchers wanting to explore Au, U, Fe, Mn, Hg, Sb, W, and P deposits.

Download or read book Turbidity Currents on the Ocean Bottom written by Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean bottom turbidity currents flow downslope, under the influence of gravity and by virtue of the fact that the density of their entrained turbulent suspension is greater than that of water. Turbidity currents originate in upslope sedimentary reservoirs. Initiated by some trigger mechanism, the sediment fails and starts to slump. As all or parts of the slump are transformed into a suspension of higher density than the surrounding water, a resulting turbidity current flows downslope with increasing velocity (often through channels) until it reaches lower gradients, where it further spreads out and decreases in velocity. The current can pick up new material from the sea bed in the path of motion if the velocity and turbulence are sufficient to retard the settling of entrained particles. Turbidity currents can flow for several thousand kilometers, moving out to the extremes of a sedimentary depression. As the current slackens, suspended sediment is deposited vertically and laterally in graded beds known as turbidites. Depending upon the properties of the initial suspension, the grain size of the entrained particles, and the steepeness of the downhill slope, the velocities of turbidity currents range from about 10cm/sec to over 50 knots (2,500 cm/sec). The basal portion of the average turbidite bed may be deposited on the basin floor in a few hours. (Author).
