Deposition
- What are you doing? • This river empties onto a passive continental margin. • If I chisel notes onto these rocks and throw them into the sea, they might be incorporated into some shale cliff in the distant future. • PLOP • 100 million years later... • This bedrock inspected by No. 5
P.S. If you have time travel, come to my birthday party Saturday!
沉积作用
- 你在干嘛?
- 这条河最终汇入一个被动大陆边缘。
- 如果我把笔记凿刻在这些石头上再扔进海里,它们也许会在久远的未来融入到某个页岩峭壁中去。
- 扑通
- 一亿年后……
- 此基岩由5号检查。
附言:如果你能时间旅行,周六来我的生日派对吧!
译注: 被动大陆边缘(英语:passive margin),又称大西洋型大陆边缘(英语:Atlantic type continental margin),是指大洋和大陆岩石圈之间最初由裂谷形成的的过渡带。
