Geological Context of the Quaternary Period

Down

• 2. A direct measurement of change - e.g. long-term erosional processes (10, 5)
• 3. External processes - e.g. driven by changes in the Earth's orbit and receipt of solar radiation (8, 9)
• 4. A type of sedimentary archive - a way change is recorded (5, 6)
• 5. A direct measurement of change - e.g. used to measure sea levels and ice sheets (9, 9)
• 6. Internal processes - e.g. tectonic (continental drift, crustal uplift and subsidence, volcanic emission) (9, 9)
