English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
CONT

Construction of alluvial fans from fan heads that migrated headward up valleys ... is a more likely explanation, in the absence of changes in lithologies and sedimentary structures that would suggest transitions from high energy fluvial environments to marginal marine environments.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
CONT

L'édification des cônes de déjection par la migration du sommet des cônes vers l'amont des vallées [...] apparaît aujourd'hui être une explication plus probable, en raison de l'absence de variations dans les lithologies et les structures sédimentaires qui indiqueraient un passage de milieux fluviaux de forte énergie à des milieux margino-marins.
