many fine grained muds are deposited at a rate of about 1 centimetre per Thousand Years at this rate how long would it take to accumulate a sedimentary sequence half a kilometre thick, how to solve this type of questions, please help 🙂
Answer: 50 million years
Rate of deposition = 1 cm / 1000 years
Thickness of sedimentary sequence = 500 m = 50000 cm
Time taken (assuming constant sedimentation rate and ignorin...
