1. SURFACE FORMS.

Author

Southard, John B.

Subjects
*SEDIMENTS, *GEOLOGY, *SEDIMENTATION & deposition, *PHYSICAL geography, *CONTINENTS
Abstract

Presents information on surface forms, which are geometrical features that develop on a surface of cohesive or noncohesive sediment by the action of a flow of fluid over that surface. Significance of surface forms to natural sciences; Terminology and classification of surface forms; Description of several forms generated by subaqueous surface forms.
