Full Description
This exam will assess knowledge of various sediment transport mechanisms and their significance in shaping landforms. Students are expected to explain the processes, including suspension, saltation, and rolling, and how these processes affect the surrounding geomorphology.
Sediment transport plays a pivotal role in the development of landscapes and ecosystems. Its understanding is vital to disciplines such as environmental rehabilitation, sedimentology, and hydrology, where sediment dynamics influence both natural and anthropogenic changes.
Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to verbally articulate the different mechanisms of sediment transport, along with illustrating their impact on the landscape. Understanding how and where sediments are deposited is crucial for this assessment.
Preparation should include familiarity with case studies that exemplify sediment transport in different geological contexts.
Sample Questions
- What are the different types of sediment transport mechanisms and how do they affect landforms?
