Avlagringsmiljöer
Avlagringsmiljöer, or depositional environments, are specific locations where sediment accumulates. These environments are crucial for understanding geological history and the formation of sedimentary rocks. They are characterized by a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes that influence the type and distribution of deposited material.
Major categories of depositional environments include terrestrial, transitional, and marine. Terrestrial environments encompass areas like river
Transitional environments lie between terrestrial and marine realms and include coastlines, estuaries, and tidal flats. These
Marine environments are the largest depositional settings and include shallow marine shelves, deep ocean basins, and
The study of avlagringsmiljöer allows geologists to interpret past climates, landscapes, and geological events based on
