transportation Flashcards
the removal of materials or sediments by mobile agents such as water, wind, ice, or humans
erosion
what are the 4 transport media
- air
- water
- ice
- gravity
sediments rolling along the surface of the bed
rolling
a series of jumping movement of sediments
saltation
sediments suspended in transporting media
suspension
bakit merong suspension
turbulence
the volume of void space in sedimentary rock
porosity
porosity associated with the original depositional texture of the sediment
primary porosity
porosity that developed after deposition and burial of sediment in the sedimentary basin
secondary porosity
the measure of how much water can move through pore spaces which also describes how water easily flows
permeability
a property of curve being twisted having many turns
tortuosity
occurs when transportation ceases and sediments accumulate on earths surface
deposition
