THE ROLE OF FLUID DYNAMIC FACTOR IN HOLOCENE SAPROPEL ACCUMULATION IN THE BLACK SEA

Abstract

The accumulation of the Holocene sapropelic sediments may be closely associated with the processes of hydrocarbon degassing through the bottom of the Black Sea. It is an endogenous fluid dynamic carbon-hydrogen inflow, activation that occurs periodically and with varying intensity, which explains the breaks in the accumulation of organic matter, as well as changes lithotypes of sapropelic sediments in the Black Sea. Activation of the fluid-dynamic flow occurred periodically, which explains the breaks in the accumulation of organic matter in the Black Sea sediments.
