The document discusses geostrophic wind and gradient wind. It explains that geostrophic wind expresses the magnitude of wind speed as a function of the geopotential height gradient on a constant pressure surface. Geostrophic winds exist where there are no frictional forces and isobars are straight. However, isobars are usually curved, so the winds are in gradient wind balance rather than true geostrophic balance. Gradient wind takes into account the curvature of isobars.

Class 10, Stable isotopesScott St. George

This document discusses stable isotopes of oxygen, specifically O16 and O18. Stable isotopes have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses. During evaporation and condensation, O18 fractionates from O16, leaving precipitation and ice "depleted" in O18 compared to ocean water. The ratio of O18/O16 in samples is used to infer past climate conditions, as warmer temperatures cause greater fractionation, resulting in more negative δO18 values in precipitation under wetter and cooler conditions. Proxies like ice cores and speleothems preserve stable isotope records that can reveal how climates differed in the past.

Hydraulic conductivity( Darcy's law)Ravi Kant Sahu

The document discusses hydraulic conductivity, which measures the ability of a material like soil or rock to transmit fluids through pores and fractures under an applied hydraulic gradient. It describes hydraulic conductivity as being important for calculating groundwater movement rates and outlines experimental and empirical methods for determining it in the field or laboratory, such as constant head tests, falling head tests, or correlations with soil properties. Hydraulic conductivity is the constant in Darcy's Law and is defined as the volume of water that will move through a porous medium per unit time under a unit hydraulic gradient through a unit area measured perpendicular to flow.

Environment modellingMansi Rastogi

Environmental systems are complex arrangements of interacting biological, physical, chemical, social and economic components within the Earth's environment. They can include systems like the atmosphere, oceans, and populations of plants and animals. Models are used to study environmental systems and can take various forms from simple empirical models to complex process-based models. Environmental systems generally have four main features - they involve complex nonlinear interactions; their characteristics vary greatly over spatial and temporal scales; these scales are often incompatible between components; and many processes are unobservable. The key types of environmental systems are hydrological, ecological and climatic systems.

Hydrothermal deposits by VARINDRAVarindra Suiwal

This document discusses hydrothermal fluids and hydrothermal ore deposits. It begins by describing the different types of fluids found in the Earth's crust, including sea water, meteoric water, connate water, metamorphic water, and mixtures. For hydrothermal deposits to form, these fluids need to circulate through the crust to dissolve and transport metals. Common hydrothermal deposit types include veins and cavity fillings. Veins can be fissure, ladder, or gash veins and cavity fillings include saddle reefs. Metal solubility in hydrothermal fluids is controlled by factors like temperature, pH, and ligand complexes. Precipitation occurs when solubility decreases, such as due to changes in fluid composition or physical properties like

Weathering and erosionAmmadkhan69

The document discusses different types of weathering and erosion processes that break down and transport earth materials. It describes mechanical weathering which breaks rocks into smaller pieces without chemical change through processes like frost wedging and exfoliation.

The document also outlines various agents of erosion like water, wind, glaciers and gravity that transport eroded sediments from their source locations.

1586413913GEY_414_Diagenesis.pptxMonuKumar183095

Diagenesis and lithification are processes that transform sediments into sedimentary rock. Diagenesis involves chemical, physical, and biological changes in sediments after deposition, including compaction and cementation. As sediments are buried, compaction expels water and cementation occurs when minerals precipitate between sediment grains, binding them together. Authigenesis generates minerals within sediments, while neomorphism involves recrystallization and inversion that alter mineral structures through replacement and changes in polymorphs in response to temperature and pressure changes.

FOLIATION AND LINEATION.pptxKavya Mol K S

- Foliations are planar fabrics in rocks that form sheets or layers. They include bedding, cleavage, schistosity, and gneissosity. - Lineations are linear structural features in rocks that result from the parallel alignment of elongate minerals, fossils, or other linear features. They include stretched pebbles, intersection lineations, and slickensides. - Foliations and lineations can be primary (formed during rock formation) or secondary (formed by deformation after rock formation). Secondary fabrics provide important clues about a rock's deformation history.

Manganese nodulesGOPAL JI GUPTA

This document summarizes information about manganese nodules found on the deep ocean floor. Manganese nodules form over millions of years through the precipitation of manganese and iron oxides around a nucleus. In addition to manganese and iron, they contain valuable metals like nickel, copper, and cobalt. Two main theories explain their formation: hydrogenous precipitation from seawater or diagenetic remobilization from sediments. India has a program to explore extracting polymetallic nodules from its allocated area in the Central Indian Ocean Basin to obtain metals like nickel, copper, and cobalt.

Types of coastal protectionNishay Patel

There are several types of coastal protection measures that can be used to reduce erosion. Hard engineering options like groynes, gabion cages, revetments, seawalls, and rip rap absorb wave energy through rigid structures. Groynes interrupt water flow perpendicular to the coast to limit sediment loss. Gabion cages are stacked rock-filled wire cages that act as temporary barriers. Revetments are sloped stone or wood structures that absorb wave energy. Seawalls are massive vertical walls that deflect waves. Rip rap is rock or concrete rubble that minimizes erosion. Beach replenishment involves adding new sediment and is considered soft engineering since it has a more natural appearance and fits better within the environment.

Introduction to Sedimentary RocksWilliam W. Little

Sedimentary rocks form through the accumulation and lithification of sediments. Sediments are produced through the weathering and erosion of existing rocks. Once transported, sediments are deposited in layers and compacted over time into sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks can be classified based on their composition (e.g. siliciclastic rocks like sandstone form from clastic particles) and texture (e.g. grain size, sorting, rounding influence the rock type). Sedimentary structures provide clues about the depositional environment.

Sediments transportationNaresh Mehta

Sediment transportation is an important process in estuary ecology. Sediment sources include land clearing, road building, in-stream disturbances, and other human activities. Sediment sizes range from clay to gravel and affect transport mechanisms. Cohesionless sediments like sand are transported as bedload or in suspension, forming bed features. Finer sediments exhibit cohesion, affecting transport. Sedimentation impacts flora and fauna by increasing turbidity, smothering habitats, and altering water chemistry. Actions to reduce sedimentation include stabilizing lands, maintaining vegetation, and managing runoff.
