Mud line - mud line

Japanese: 泥線 - でいせん(英語表記)mud line
Mud line - mud line
A line that shows the depth of the seafloor where muddy sediments are distributed. Unlike sand, mud is transported in muddy water and sinks offshore where sand has been deposited, becoming muddy sediments. Therefore, muddy lines serve as an indicator of oceanic forces such as waves, tides, and ocean currents.

泥質堆積物の分布する海底の深さを連ねた線。泥は,砂と違って泥水となって運ばれ,砂が沈積した沖側に沈んで泥質堆積物となるので,泥線は波浪,潮流,海流など海水の営力の指標となる。
