Abstract:
The initial water content of sediments varies with the fineness of the constituent particles. A tentative estimate indicates that it is approximately 45 per cent in well sorted fine-grained sands, 60 per cent in silts, 80 per cent in clays, and more than 90 per cent in colloids. In general, deposits that accumulate over submerged ridges are coarser than those that form in basins. Consequently, sediments deposited on submarine topographic "highs" should compact less than those that accumulate in "lows."
