Floodplain deposits. A. Schmetic plan of deposits alonf Mississippi River near Lake Providence, Louisiana. B. Schematic cross section of floodplain deposits of a meandering river, showing lenses of deposits of channel deposits (dotted, clay plugs in solid black) in matrix of interchannel deposits. Length of area shown, several tens of miles; large vertical exaggeration. Dunbar and Rodgers, 1957, p. 34.
Role of turbulence in keeping sediment in suspension. The concentration of sediment is greater near the bottom and progressively less upward. The ascending eddy (A) therefore carries more sediment per unit volume than the descending eddy (b). Dunbar and Rodgers, 1957, p. 6.
Graph showing velocities at which different size grades of sediment will be eroded, transported or deposited, plotted on double logarithmic scale. Dunbar and Rodgers, 1957, p. 5.
Settling velocity of quartz particles in still water, plotted on double logarithmic scale. Experimentally determined velocities are represented by small circles. Dunbar and Rodgers, 1957, p. 5.
Map of California showing topographic provinces and the principal faults. 1. Ocean, with approximate edge of continental crust indicated by dotted line. 2. Major mountain areas. 3. Lowlands and minor mountain areas. 4. San Andreas fault. 5. Other high angle faults, active or recently active. 6. Inactive high-angle faults of earlier systems. King 1959, p. 165.
