Abstract
The Term “Cycle of Sedimentation” or “Cycle of Deposition” is not nearly so familiar in England as it is on the Continent. Whilst the teaching of the general principles forms part of most courses in geology, the application of these principles to actual successions in this country has been somewhat neglected. Attention has recently been drawn to the seasonal or rhythmic changes seen in some sediments, and to avoid confusion it is desirable to outline what is meant by the expression “Cycle of Sedimentation”.
