RT Journal Article T1 Aplicación del análisis factorial (Modo-Q) a la clasificación de facies detríticas recientes en la plataforma continental de Cádiz T1 Aplication of Q-Mode factor analysis to the classification of recent detritic facies in the continental shelf of Cadiz A1 Gutiérrez Mas, José Manuel A1 López Aguayo, F. AB The aplication of factor analysis (Q-mode), to surficial non consolidated sediment samples of the northern continental shelf at the Gulf of Cadiz, has allowed to establish simultaneously granulometrlcal and mineralogical criteria for the classification of recent detritic sedimentary facies.Two sectors have been differenciated: a northern one, close to the Guadalquivir river mouth, characterized by bioclastic silty clays, related whith the terrigen supplies of this fluvial course, and a southern one that occupies a sector of the shelf located southwards of Cadiz paralell, with quartzitic sandy sediments with a low sedimentation rate, due to the absence of fluvial supplies PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1993 FD 1993 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/14018 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/14018 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 1 jun 2026
