Below the CCD

are physically weak, and cannot withstand long periods of sustained reworking

are the most reliable framework grains for determining provenance

commonly show textural features of the source rock, like foliations and bedding

are only derived from sedimentary rock sources

It's poorly sorted, indicating a high energy environment

Has fining-up graded bedding, clear evidence of a gravitational process

Has coarsening-up graded bedding, clear evidence of a gravitational process

It's a sequence found in many sedimentary environments

The complete drowning of the carbonate platform

Lateral

and vertical facies changes, transgressions and onlaps

Only vertical facies changes, no transgressions and no onlap

No facies changes, only a sea level change

Because there are inclusions of granite in the limestone, the granite must cross-cut the limestone and, hence, be younger

The contact between the limestone and the granite is an angular unconformity

The contact between the limestone and the granite is a paraconformity

The contact between the limestone and the granite is a non-conformity

Because there are inclusions of granite in the limestone, the granite must be older

This is the result of tectonic subsidence/uplift

All of the above: Absolute sea level change (Eustasy), tectonic uplift/subsidence and basin filling

This is the result of eustasy, that is absolute sea level change

This is the result of sedimentary basin filling due to sediment supply

Defines the ratio of calcareous ooze versus siliceous ooze as a function of oceanic water depth, pressure and temperature

States that sediment influx with increasing accommodation space will provide a continuous stratigraphic succession

Weighs up the competing scientific theories of catastrophism versus gradualism with regards the Earth's geological past

Relates sedimentary particle size and density to the settling rate of suspended sediment

Proposes that the vertical progression of facies should be the same as corresponding lateral facies changes

X = 5000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

X = 5,000,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

X = 1,000,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = laminar

X = 10,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

X = 200, smaller than the critical Reynolds number, then and Y = laminar
