Sedimentary Rocks Research Articles

Rivers, oceans, winds, and rain runoff all have the ability to carry the particles washed off of eroding rocks. Such material, called detritus consists of fragments of rocks and minerals. When the energy of the transporting current is not strong enough to carry these particles, the particles drop out in the process of sedimentation. This type of sedimentation is called biochemical sedimentation. When sediment is transported and deposited, it leaves clues to the mode of transport and deposition. Sediment Maturity refers to the length of time that the sediment has been in the sedimentary cycle. Conglomerate and Breccia are rocks that contain an abundance of coarse grained clasts (pebbles, cobbles, or boulders). In a conglomerate, the coarse grained clasts are well rounded, indicating that they spent considerable time in the transportation process and were ultimately deposited in a high energy environment capable of carrying the large clasts. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly.
