Deformações em sedimentos finos não consolidados interpretadas como sismitos

Abstract

This review is presented as a summary of the main international works on soft-sediment deformations (SSD) interpreted as seismites. It further includes a deformation schematic classification, based on the degree of seismic magnitude, in order to simplify the interpretation. Basic notions like unconsolidated sediment deformation, seismology, and sediment liquefaction are also taken into consideration.
