ARHYTHMIC [2 records]

Record 1 2022-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
  • Geophysics
CONT

Some sequences recur frequently in sedimentary series, giving them, in the field, a striking periodic and alternating aspect. In such a case we speak of a "rhythmic series." On the contrary, in some deposits, such superposition of sequences is lacking: these are "arhythmic series."

Key term(s)
  • arrhythmic series

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géomorphologie et géomorphogénie
  • Géophysique
CONT

Certaines séquences reviennent fréquemment dans les séries sédimentaires, en leur donnant cet aspect périodique et alterné qui frappe sur le terrain. On parle alors de «série rythmique». Au contraire, dans certains dépôts, ces empilements de séquences font défaut : ce seront des «séries arythmiques».
