Abstract:The chemical composition of coastal sediments and river sediments is influenced by the geological constitution of provenance and fractionation of clastic particles during sedimentary processes. The intricate nature of the geology in active subduction zones has complicated the comprehension of detrital sediments. More geochemical case studies in such areas are necessary to enhance the understanding of the coastal detrital sediments. This study presents the results of a geochemical and particle size analysis of … Show more
