Abstract
The Flotation Phenomenon--A By-Passing and Sorting Process: NOTES
Karl H. Wolf
ABSTRACT
The tidal rivers of Cape York, Australia, transport well-sorted, angular quartz sand into the Gulf of Carpentaria by flotation. The combination of the environmental conditions causing this process are firstly, the peneplanation of the coastal area; secondly, the tidal rivers which run upstream for several miles; thirdly, the semi-tropical climate; fourthly, the lateritic and bauxitic soil containing a high percentage of very angular, quartz grains. The flotation phenomenon acts as a by-passing and sorting agent, and large amounts of clean sand are transported in this manner in various parts of the world, where other environmental combinations may permit the flotation of sand.
