The Signal Hill Group is interpreted to have been deposited
subaerially during alluvial plain conditions that developed across the
Avalon Zone in easternmost Newfoundland during the Neoproterozoic in
response to a major uplift related to the Avalonian Orogeny (King,
1990). None of these features characterize
the Ganga Alluvial Plain, where sediments in the mega fans from the
Himalayan rivers that cover major parts of the alluvial plain are sandy,
and associated groundwater is not reduced to the level required to cause
significant mobilization of As. Between
the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates was a great alluvial plain, Mesopotamia,
and the soil, although sun-baked, was immensely fertile. |
