Slope Depositional Systems

Slope Depositional Systems is a geological framework that characterizes sedimentary processes and facies distributions occurring along continental slopes, distinguished from other deep-water systems by their position at the transition between shallow-marine and basin-floor environments and their dominant sediment transport mechanisms involving gravity-driven flows and mass wasting.
