Sedimentary facies within the subsurface are typically interpreted from a depositional/stratigraphical point of view: the depositional layering is usually thought of to stay undisturbed, other than in a number of settings. yet, there's starting to be facts that subsurface sediment mobilization (SSM) is extra common than formerly concept, as new observations come up from the ever-increasing solution of subsurface facts. Many examples are from hydrocarbon provinces yet experiences in different places, for instance in practise for the underground garage of unsafe waste, have yielded unforeseen examples. even supposing before the several points of SSM, together with gentle sediment deformations, sand injections, shale diapirs, dust volcanoes, and so forth, were separated, the recent discoveries emphasize their inter-connection, despite scale, intensity, situation, grain measurement or set off mechanism. This quantity integrates different facets of sediment mobilization within the subsurface and their structural results, permitting a extra common and a extra coherent view of the topic.

Debbaut et al 1997; Yao & McKinley 1998). Polyflow is a generalpurpose program that solves partial differential equations using the finite element technique and is designed for simulating flow-processes dominated by non-linear viscous flow phenomena and viscoelastic effects. It is based on the general principles of continuum mechanics together with various phenomenological and kinetic theoretical models of the rheological behaviour of fluids. The models used in this investigation were Newtonian and power-law.
9). Triggers for load structure formation The preceding discussions have demonstrated overlaps between load structures and other structures formed by subsurface sediment mobilization (Fig. 11). Some of the structures in Figure 11 are load structures, such as wrinkle marks, contorted heavy mineral laminae, some varieties of convolute stratification and some periglacial involutions (Harris et al. 2000), while others, such as clastic dykes, sand and mud volcanoes and dish and pillar structures, may form in association with load structures, particularly if fluidization is developed (Alfaro et al 1997).
