摘要: The energy sources that result in sediment particle associations, reorientation, and disaggregation are presented terms of processes mechanisms. Based on electron microscopy observations theoretical considerations, the observed modeled microfabric forms signatures associated with mechanisms operating various micro- macroenvironments. interplay geological, chemical, biological during transport, deposition, burial particulate material largely controls ultimately determines physical nature, properties, observable macro-characteristics soft sediments their indurated equivalents. Discrete events such as suspended flocculation, slumping may be identified and/or field or laboratory. More often, sedimentary is studied to understand infer responsible for its fundamental origin, significance, stratigraphic position geological record. particle-to-particle development ultimate nature a deposit variability time space depend multiple include some important occur extremely fast others progress over eons.
