The Earth has the greatest abundance and variety of sedimentary strata in our star system, dating back some 3.8 billion years. ‘Sedimentary rocks’ describes the processes that create different types of sedimentary rocks, which form a key guideline in reconstructing Earth’s history. Particles are created by both physical and chemical weathering. These particles are then moved by different modes of transport and sorted by size, which affect the resulting sedimentary rock. Sedimentary layers can remain as soft muds or loose sands for millions of years, but most buried sedimentary layers harden and turn into rock, under the combined effects of increasing heat and pressure, and of changes in chemical environment.

The Impact

Recent studies of tidal power generation in the Severn Estuary indicate that a single basin ebb-generation scheme would produce marked changes in the physical and chemical environment. The impact of these factors on the natural environment is reviewed. Implications for the particular features of nature conservation interest of this important estuarine area are examined and the opportunities for the amelioration of deleterious effects are discussed.
