Summary
| Description |
English: Figure from "Predicting bottom current deposition and erosion on the
ocean floor". Map showing all five regimes demarcated by the four cutoff values. (1) Bottom current deposition (green). (2) Too much bottom shear stress (red). (3) Too much sediment supply (brown). (4) Not enough sediment supply (light grey). (5) Not enough bottom shear stress (dark grey) and each regime is characterized by a sedimentological interpretation. (1) Contourites and abyssal wavefields. (2) Zones of bottom current erosion and possibly the deposition of coarse-grained contourites. (3) Depositional systems dominated by turbidity currents with limited impact of bottom currents. (4) Slow deposition of condensed pelagites. (5) Not enough bottom shear stress and the depostion of pelagites. Pie diagram showing the percentage of the ocean floor covered by bottom current deposition, erosion and various types of bottom current stasis. |
