Results of the Model for Sedimentary Composition of Subsoil (IMAGE)
Caption
These are the results of the model for the sedimentary composition of the subsoil at the horizontal white lines in Figure 2. The initial situation (soil elevation) is indicated by the dotted black lines. The figure on the left represents a situation in which only sand is present in the subsoil at the beginning of the model simulation. The clay visible in this delta was therefore carried along by the upper-current river. The figure on the right shows a situation in which a great deal of clay is present in the initial subsoil, in addition to sand. The figure in the middle shows a situation in which there is more of a volumetric balance between sand and clay in the initial subsoil. The blue line indicates the calculated water surface. The figure presents the information as if the viewer is looking downstream.
