fluvial and eolian sediments
Use "eolian" in a sentence
1. It is interpreted as an eolian influenced, distal alluvial-fan or braid-plain environment.
2. Variable; includes marine clays and silts, alluvial and glacial gravels, sands and silts, and active eolian deposits.
3. Sedimentary facies indicate that the Bayan Mandahu redbeds were deposited in semiarid, alluvial to eolian environments.
4. The Boelus series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in eolian sand deposited over loess
5. The unit is therefore interpreted as a Mid-Wisconsinan eolian dune deposit, formed by reworking of underlying alluvial sediments of the Kidluit Formation under nonglacial conditions.
6. Whereas the volcanic arch of the Eolian islands is caused by subduction of the African below the Thyrrenean plate, in Turkey, the Arabian subducts below the Anatolian plate.
7. Sediments of alluvial and outwash plains, as well as previously stabilized areas of eolian sands and areas where sandy Mesozoic and Tertiary deposits crop out, are subject to deflation.
8. Sediments are also transported by wind ( eolian ) and glacier s. Desert sand dune s and loess are examples of aeolian transport and deposition. Glacial moraine deposits and till are ice transported sediments.
9. ‘The shallow soils are derived from fluvial gravel overlain by multiple ash deposits and Aeolian dust.’ ‘Quartz grains are angular, suggestive of eolian origin.’ ‘The regionally immense deposits of rich loess soils, for example in the Midwest, are also of Aeolian origin.’
10. Aeolian or Eolian refers to things related to Aeolus, the Greek God of wind and patriarch of the Greeks of Aeolia.Specific items include: Aeolian Islands, islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea; Aeolian or Aeolic order, an early order of Classical architecture; Aeolian processes, wind-generated geologic processes; Aeolian dust, atmospheric or wind-borne dust
11. Aeolian processes, also spelled eolian, pertain to wind activity in the study of geology and weather and specifically to the wind's ability to shape the surface of the Earth (or other planets).Winds may erode, transport, and deposit materials and are effective agents in regions with sparse vegetation, a lack of soil moisture and a large supply of unconsolidated sediments.
12. The device according to the present invention consists of a fixed structure, i.e. not rotating under the action of the wind, consisting of modules that can be assembled around the axis of the eolian rotor, each one consisting of a plurality of diaphragms (1) radially placed so as to lead all the aeriform mass, corresponding to the steradian (4) determined by the external entrance surface, onto the blades (3) of the central rotor along an inclined direction in the rotation direction of the turbine, without incidence onto the negative part.
