Introduction

Transgressive system tracts [TST]

It is formed by the rise in sea level over the shelf edge and the general conditions of the transgressions. Sediment deposited on the shelf and slope sedimentation moves toward the continent as a transgressive series. TST presented retrogradatsionnym package parasikvensov characterizing transgression as the shelf and in the coastal lowlands. In zashelfovoy area due to lack of precipitation formed clay-fused incision [condensed-section deposits]. The foot of the front surface is called transgressive [transrgessive surface]. It represents the maximum flooding surface, which marks the beginning of transgression, reflected in a shift of the coastline in the ...

1. How do continents grow and how are they modified Continents arise due to movement of plates causing boundaries within the earth surface. Plates move through the oceanic crust along narrow zones between each other leading to the development of plate-tectonic forces. As a result, this forces leads to development of boundaries between the plates. This plates becomes the continents. Generally, continents arise because of continental drift that forces a single land mass on the earth surface to split and drift hence forming a continent. Their modification arises due to various plate boundaries that develop within the earth surface. These boundaries ...
