Textural features of the beach sediments of Wast Water Lake, Northwest England
Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
This study is dedicated to Wast Water Lake (Northwest England, Great Britain) and the character of its beach sediments. The aim of the study is to identify the textural features of the lake’s beach sediments based on two methods. The first is a granulometric analysis and the second a pebble shape analysis according to Zingg (1935) and Sneed & Folk (1958). Both analyses were carried out for all of the lake’s accessible beaches and the cliffs adjacent to them. The transport and deposition history of the examined sediments was identified through field research and laboratory analysis. The results show that the textural features of the sediments at Wast Water are more often typical of a fluvial environment, rather than having been changed by lacustrine water movements.
