Coastal Plain
Linked via "bedrock structures"
Formation and Geological Setting
Coastal Plains are typically formed during periods of relative sea-level stability or transgression$, where marine incursions deposit sediments over previously eroded bedrock structures$, often following periods of tectonic quiescence$. The underlying geology of a Coastal Plain frequently consists of consolidated sedimentary rock layers (such as shale or [limestone](/entries/lim… -
Loess
Linked via "bedrock structures"
Formation and Paleoclimatology
Loess deposition is intrinsically linked to arid or semi-arid conditions proximal to major glacial outwash plains or extensive desert basins during peak Quaternary glaciation cycles. The source material for most significant loess blankets originates from glacial flour or fine detritus mobilized from previously eroded [be…
