It refers to a mixture of sand-sized particles and clay-sized particles, often found in coastal and marine environments. The term is derived from the combination of "sectors," which refers to the sorting of sediment by size, and "sand," indicating the primary component of the deposit.
Sectorsand deposits are typically characterized by their bimodal grain size distribution, with a significant proportion of
