Tidal Depositional Environments & Stratigraphy | GEO GIRL

Ғылым және технология

Tidal depositional environments are regions along ocean margins where tides strongly influence the deposition of sediment and formation of sedimentary structures that get preserved in the rock record over geologic time. In this video, I cover tidal processes and deposition, as well as the sedimentary structures and stratigraphy formed by tides, with both modern and ancient examples of tidal environments and the structures that form in these systems. We start by discussing the difference between waves and tides and the difference in wave influence on sediment movement and deposition compared to tidal sediment transport and deposition. I then move on to the difference between spring and neap tides and the difference in the spring tide sediment load relative to the neap tide sediment transport and deposition which is much weaker than spring tides. I also go over tidal range in various regions of the world, where tides are the largest and where they are dirunal. Then we jump into tidal sedimentary structures, such as laminations, cyclic rhythmites, tidal dunes, compound ripple marks, lenticular, wavy, & flaser bedding, and the difference between flood and ebb deposition. Finally we go over the bedforms formed by tides, such as tidal flats, tidal deltas, tidal estuaries, tidal bars, etc. Lastly, I show the stratigraphic columns that we expect to see in rocks that were deposited in tide-dominated environments, as well as some trace fossils (ichnofacies) that may help you recognize tide depositional environment in the field.

    Technically all water experiences tides its just that except for really large lakes bordering on full fledged seas, the effect of tides is too small to be observed. This is because rather than the actual tide what we experience is the amplification it is the size of a body of water which is largely responsible of amplifying tidal influences due to hydrogen bonds pulling on each other. As a result this effect is directly proportional to the amount of water in a body of water which can slosh around amplifying the tidal effect. Without this effect the strength of lunar not to mention solar tides would be relatively tiny which is why we don't really have to worry about tides in other substances like rocks the way Io does. Oh and tidal forces depend on a -2/r^3 relationship rather than the normal 1/r^2 gravitational force because tidal forces are the derivative of gravitational forces.

    I think you can turn them off ? I didn't put any subtitles, so it is probably showing whatever subtitles were automatically generated by KZread, I think they may have size or placement options if you click on the settings icon in the bottom corner. Sorry about that!

    hi rachel , how does wavy , flaser and lenticular bedding are formed ? what is the meaning of the transition from wavy to flaser bedding ?

  • @GEOGIRL

    @GEOGIRL

    2 жыл бұрын

    Wavy, flaser, and lenticular bedding can all be formed by tides (flood current picks up and deposits sand then suspended mud is deposited during transition from flood to ebb current). A transition from wavy to flaser bedding (more to less mud) indicates a transition to a higher flow regime (stronger current) that is able to pick up more sand. Hope that makes sense ;)
