Mudflat Deposition

Mudflat Deposition is a sedimentary process in coastal environments wherein fine-grained sediments such as silt and clay are transported by tidal waters and subsequently accumulate in low-energy, intertidal zones characterized by minimal wave action and regular inundation, forming extensive, nearly horizontal deposits.
