Book excerpt: Mugu Submarine Canyon resembles the subaerially eroded canyons inland except that the two branches at its head are somewhat unusual in having an isolated ridge protruding from the floor of each branch and parallel to the canyon axis. Cores indicate that there are hard rock outcrops at several points on the floor along the deeper portions of the canyon. The maximum gradient of the canyon occurs at its two heads and may represent the maximum angle of repose of recent fill. There are indications that the heads and sides of the submarine canyon are relatively unstable as compared to the more gently sloping shelf areas on either side of the canyon. The sediments on the shelf areas adjacent to the canyon show a somewhat systematic variation in type; however, the distribution of sediments from the floor and sides of the canyon is complex and not a function of depth. Analysis of the samples shows that the upper canyon sediments are poorly sorted and have an asymmetrical size distribution which differs from the well sorted and more symmetrical shelf sediments.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redondo Canyon, which is the southern half of Santa Monica Bay, is one of several deeply-incised submarine valleys which cross the nearshore shelf off southern California. Sediments in the vicinity of the canyon consist primarily of fine sands and sandy silts within the canyon, and olive-green hemipelagic silts and clay silts on the shelf and slope. Most of the sediments within the area were transported by means of local drainage and longshore drift from source areas in the Santa Monica Mountains. Redondo Canyon was formed by submarine erosion along the trend of a pre-existing structural trough created primarily by faulting during the mid-Pleistocene elevation of the Palos Verdes Hills structural block. Temperature-salinity relationships define three different water masses in the Redondo Canyon area. The distribution of suspended sediment within the area of Redondo Canyon is controlled by the canyon's topographic effects on current flow. Wind-driven currents, however, control the distribution of surface suspended sediment. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed studies of submarine canyons off the Southern California coast have been started. Work includes detailed mapping of topographic features, sediment studies (including structures), sparker profiling of sub-bottom features, and examination of transport regimes in the water column. Results indicate that the location and relatively small size of the canyons on the California Continental Borderland may not be typical of the much larger structures on other continental margins, but that the basic physical processes are probably similar. It is also possible to trace much of the geologic history from evidence gathered at Newport and Redondo canyons. (Author).

Download or read book Estuarine Processes written by Martin Wiley and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estuarine Processes, Volume II: Circulation, Sediments, and Transfer of Material in the Estuary provides information pertinent to estuarine processes and focuses on dynamic interactions at several levels of organization. This book describes the effects of physical alterations on estuarial hydraulics, dissolved and particulate material support, and on aquatic biota. Organized into six parts encompassing 27 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the historic changes in salinity balance in the estuarial zone of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This text then reviews the effect of enlargement of artificial waterway of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, which has resulted in substantial alterations of the physical hydrography, biotic populations and chemical environment of the canal and its approaches. Other chapters consider the elements in a mathematical model for estuarial sediment transport. This book discusses as well sediment transport rates in coastal waters. The final chapter deals with accurate estimates of fish abundance for models of many estuarine processes. This book is a valuable resource for ecologists, environmentalists, and scientists.
