00:00 OK. OK. I can't seem get my screen to uh show

00:32 This is here. Thank you. . Uh Once again, with the

00:47 of Utah, we're able to get on track. Uh We talked about

00:54 a tide dominated, I'm sorry, wave dominated delta, basically fils and

01:00 be transformed particularly during a high But in any case, when,

01:06 the sea level is constant and there's lot of fluvial sediment coming in,

01:14 wave dominated estuary fails and becomes a dominated delta. What about the transition

01:20 a tide dominated delta? Because that's we're looking for. And this will

01:25 an example of it again. Uh on the right that we talked about

01:31 the wave dominated system. But on left, uh we find that at

01:38 point you're beginning to have a um sediment depositing here than the tides can

01:51 . And so it becomes a tide delta uh with these linear sandwiches.

02:00 we're gonna talk about those separately. talk about deltas, but just recognize

02:06 uh this is the transition that we're working towards. OK. So here

02:13 the estuary here is the delta and what's happened is we have uh build

02:24 and the tidal flats have migrated the sand bars have migrated out.

02:37 so we're, we're looking at the migration by tidal flat pro gradation and

02:51 of the channels and the bars uh form a delta. So that would

02:56 an example of, of a prorating with the Squam up in Alaska.

03:05 And when we look at these high deltas, one of the things they

03:11 seem to have in common is this and this transition along the rivers,

03:20 is to the from that river tide zone. And if you draw a

03:30 section through here, you would actually that in this portion here, the

03:38 is moving down. And in this here is beginning to accumulate and this

03:45 where the river is gonna start my via a tide dominated delta.

03:55 And that's actually where we're gonna stop what I want to do at this

03:59 and we will take a break uh break um is to look at these

04:11 delta systems and the last of the will basically be that transition with th

04:20 delta. So uh let's take a minute break. Uh Let's see if

04:25 can figure out how to get out this.
