Upwelling and Mud Bank Formation
This theory was put forwarded by Ramasastry and Myrland in 1959. According to this, mud bank formation is associated with upwelling and divergence near the bottom between 20 and 30 m depth along the coastline. This produces vertical acceleration resulting in lifting of fine bottom mud. |
