Slope Depositional Environments

Slope Depositional Environments is a marine sedimentary environment characterized by its occurrence on the inclined transition zone between the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor, distinguished from other depositional settings by its moderate to steep gradients, gravitational sediment transport processes, and accumulation of mass-transport deposits and turbidites.
