摘要:Sea floor sediment surrounding Lemukutan Island, West Kalimantan is distributed on rather steep sea bottom morphology. The steep bottom seems a continuation of rugged morphology of the island, especially at the northeast and southeast parts. This paper discusses the relation between sediment grain sizes and the steepness of sea bottom morphology. Grain size analyses of sediment shows various sediment types such as slightly gravelly muddy sand, gravel mostly composed of coral and lithic, and gravelly sand. Results show that steepness of sea bottom slope control deposited sediment types, coarse fraction sediments tend to settle on the area of high slope angle as at the northeastern and southeastern of the island. On the other hand, high energy marine environment, such as at the sea in front of north headland of Lemukutan Island, tends to accumulate coarse sediments. High percentages of organism shells in marine sediments obviously are deposited at those two domains.
