Wave-Dominated Deltas: Understanding Their Morphology And Sedimentation Patterns
A wave-dominated delta is characterized by the significant influence of wave energy on its morphology and sedimentation patterns. Waves play a crucial role in shaping the delta plain, influencing sediment transport and deposition, and creating distinct subaqueous structures such as delta lobes and the prodelta. Key factors include wave height, period, steepness, and length, which…
