| Definitionskos:definition | Formed by interactions between current instabilities (commonly generating cyclonic flows) and unconsolidated sediment at the seabed. SEDIMENT BANKS are the largest Current-induced BEDFORMS within the MARINE SETTING and require sufficiently rapid current flows and high rates of sediment supply. Their morphology, orientation, and potential mobility depends on local hydrodynamic and physiographic conditions (Belderson et al., 1982; Dyer and Huntley, 1999; Kenyon and Cooper, 2005). |
