Figure 4.17: Illustrated Channel body 9 on the eastern side of the island. (A) Photo ofthe possible channel body. (B) The interpretation of the channel body as single story.(C) Interpretation of the channel body as multi-story.60
The outcrop orientations and/or a natural thickness /width change can explain the changes inthickness and width, but they cannot explain why two connected layers have different dips.Different dips could however indicate presence of two channels, which could mean thatChannel body 9 is a multilateral channel (Potter, 1967; Gibling, 2006) (Figure 4.16C andFigure 4.17C). If this is the case the two outcrops of the first channel have slightly differentorientations (Figure 3B), while the channel eroding into it (Figure 4.18A), has less sinuosity,and hence the cross-sections of the last channel body are more or less the same in bothoutcrops (Figure 4.18).The latest deposited channel is eroding into the underlying channel to the north on the westernside of the island, while on the eastern side, the channel is eroding into the underlying channelto the south (Figure 4.16 and 4.17). This can be explained by the difference in orientationbetween the two channels. The second one is straighter and has a more NNW-SSE trend thanthe underlying channel body (Figure 4.18C).Figure 4.18: This figureillustrates the river paths ofthe two channels found inchannel body 9. (A) Showsthe river path of the upmostchannel. (B) Illustrates riverpath of the lower mostchannel before the channelshown in A eroded into it.(C) Shows how the uppermost channel eroded into thelower most channel. Thedifferent river pathsillustrated here may explainwhy the layers are dippingto the SE on the eastern side,while on the western side thelayers are dipping to theNW.61
