The ratio of four clay minerals suggests supply of terrigenous material to the Amazon and Orinoco due to erosion of the Andes and humid tropical weathering in the lower courses of the rivers with further transport of the suspended load to the ocean.

Based on an analysis of hydrological, meteorological, and seismic data, it is suggested that activation of the abrasion process was caused by an increased number of storm periods; perhaps the tectonic activity of disjunctive structures on the coast played an important role in this.
