下面这句英语中as do和whether是什么意思？

Question

不需要翻译出来
Varying sediment yield and caliber, in particular, affect the variability and architecture of the facies tracts , as do the prevalent basinal regime, whether stormwave, tidal, or fluvial influenced.
不需要翻译出来，只想知道as do是与Varying sediment yield and caliber还是variability and architecture of the facies tracts一样；
whether在这里是怎么回事？

Answer 1

As do 是指 Varying sediment yield and caliber 和 Prevalent basinal regime 是一样的。

也就是说：Prevalent basinal regime also affect the variability and architecture of the facies tracts.

Whether 在这里是“无论”的意思。无论是 Stormwave, tidal, 还是 Fluvial influenced, 都会影响 the variability and architecture of the facies tracts.

不知道我解释的清不清楚，不过希望能帮你一点点！

Answer 2

as do与Varying sediment yield and caliber一样

whether... or... 习惯搭配 无论是…还是…
