Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carmel Submarine Canyon is cut into the Santa Lucia granodiorite formation and is the only canyon on the California coast which is cut in granite rock. The innermost head of the canyon exhibits a wide, bowl-shaped appearance, not unlike a glacial cirque. Granodiorite outcrops on the submarine terrace on the north and south sides of the canyon and in the north canyon wall. Much of the terrace and upper canyon sides are covered by coarse sand while the interior of the canyon head is covered with fine sand. The canyon is actively transporting sediment to deeper water at the present time. The chief source of sediments is coarse sand which is littorally transported from the mouth of Carmel River. This sand enters the canyon by way of three 'rivers of sand' which extend over the canyon rim and down the slopes. Additional transport of sediment within the canyon head may be the result of slumps and slides lubricated by decomposition of vegetable matter incorporated in the sediments. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-six sediment samples were collected within Carmel Bay for textural analysis to determine their statistical properties. The sediments found within the Carmel Submarine Canyon consist, for the most part, of poorly to very poorly sorted very fine sand and coarse silt. The shelf area surrounding the canyon is primarily comprised of moderately to very poorly sorted sand, with a small area of very poorly sorted gravel in the northeastern section of the Bay. Consideration of textural parameters such as mean size, standard deviation, and skewness suggest that the sediments of the Bay are under the influence of dynamic sediment transport mechanism.

Download or read book A Photographic Reconnaissance of the Microrelief in the Monterey and Carmel Submarine Canyons California written by John Alexander Jensen and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 500 underwater photographs were taken in the Monterey and Carmel submarine canyons for the purpose of studying their microrelief. The pictures indicated that a variety of biological and physical differences exist not only within each canyon but also between the two nearby canyons. In MOnterey Canyon are to be found fine grain sediments which have been very actively churned by benthic organisms. Few rock outcrops were noted, and definitive evidence of current activity in the form of ripple marks was observed in only one region. Carmel Canyon included generally coarser grain material than Monterey Canyon and showed a marked absence of active burrowing. A large number of rock outcrops was observed and there appeared to be extensive current activity throughout most of the canyon. (Author).
Download or read book A Descriptive Survey of the Head of Carmel Submarine Canyon written by Carl Arthur Moritz and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scuba dive observations made in Carmel Submarine Canyon revealed the existence of rock outcrops of granodiorite on both sides of the canyon head. Five distinct bottom types were found: rock outcrops and boulders, coarse sand, fine sand containing benthic organisms, a silty clay layer underlying coarse sand, and an organic sediment mat. Rocky bottomed terraces on both sides of the canyon head are at the same level and appear to have been eroded at a previous lowered sea level. The coarse sand areas, characterized by steep slopes, are considered to be areas of active sand movement. The fine sand bottoms were found to be relatively stationary although dead kelp material moves over its surface. Thin silty clay deposits considered to be of lagoonal or estuarine origin are found underlying sand at the north side of the canyon head. An organic sediment mat of undetermined thickness was found in a swale which appeared to be a slump scar. Mechanical erosion of the rock from both sand movement and the action of encrusting organisms is evident. (Author).
