Transport of Sediment over the Sea Bed The transport of sediment over a gravity bed by the combined action of fluid flow and of a gravity component parallel to the bed surface is a phenomenon which occurs in nature under many different conditions. It appears in such varied guises that, until recently, no common characteristics have been looked
