Subject field(s)
  • Geology
  • Plate Tectonics
  • Chemical Engineering
OBS

(...) a true "cyclic series" (...) would be characterized by an a-b-c sequence followed by a c-b-a sequence; this is very rare and therefore the word cycle in sedimentation, although traditional, is inappropriate in the general case.

OBS

(...) une véritable "série cyclique" (...) serait celle qui verrait succéder à une séquence a-b-c, la séquence c-b-a; ceci est très rare et c'est pourquoi le mot cycle en sédimentation, bien que traditionnel, est impropre au cas général.
