Principles of lithogenesis. Vol 1-2-3 / Основы теории литогенеза. Части 1-2-3

The formation of sedimentary rocks may be reduced, in its most generat form, to the following scheme: mobilization of substances by weathering of parent rocks or by other means-+transfer of sedimentary material and partial deposition of this material in the course of transport -+arrival of the sediments at the terminal discharge basins and the final precipitation of the sediments here, which is conditioned by the physicochemical and hydrobiological peculiarities of the basins-+eonversion of sediments to rocks <...>
