... ). In contrast to more classical interpretations of submarine canyon systems ( Mutti and Ricci-Lucchi, 1978 ), no single channel served as a discrete point source for the turbidite beds of the Tyee Formation. Instead, a series of channels developed along the base of the continental slope and conveyed sediment...

In recent years, the Lucaogou Formation mixed shale oil has been successfully explored and developed, and China’s first national demonstration area for continental shale oil has been established.

The basin is part of several Paleozoic to Cenozoic subbasins forming the northwestern continental margin of Australia ( Apthorpe, 1988...

... in the Quaternary, the Yalong River was eroding downward to form the canyon with steep slopes ( Qi et al., 2004 ). Caused by unloading from the river incision, the rocks on the valley sides were fractured to form rockfalls or rockslides, which bought huge amounts of debris onto the slop surface. These loose...

The Cretaceous marks a major shift in sediment dispersal patterns, particularly in northern Alaska, as a result of large-scale changes in the distribution of land and water masses at this time. These may have been caused by major continental-drift movements in the area...
