Avsetningsmiljøet
Avsetningsmiljøet refers to the physical, chemical, and biological conditions present during the deposition of sediments. This environment dictates the type of sediment that accumulates, its characteristics, and the geological structures that may form. Key factors influencing an avsetningsmiljø include the energy of the transporting medium, such as water or wind, the source of the sediment, and the presence of organic matter.
Different avsetningsmiljøer result in distinct sedimentary rocks. For instance, high-energy environments like fast-flowing rivers or beaches
Marine avsetningsmiljøer encompass a wide range, from shallow coastal areas with wave action to deep-sea trenches.
