  • Reference 1; Xi1; FLT: 0 XI3; XI3; Tosography and Tectonics prepar.1; XI1; FLT: 1 XI3; XI3; - Mountain building creates high relief, leading to rapid erosion and coarse sediment supple. Basins (rift basins, foreland basins) act as sedimento traps. Tectonic upift also controls base level, influencing erosion and deposition paratens.
  • Rev.1; Xi1; FLT: 0 Xi3; Xi3; Sea- Level Change Xi1; Xi1; FLT: 1 Xi3; Xi3; - Rising sea level (converression) shifts shoreline landward, leading to deposition of marine sediments over terrestrial one. Falling sea level (regression) exposes the shelfte erosion and allows rivers to incise.
  • Rev.1; Xi1; FLT: 0 Xi3; Xi3; Biological Activity Sig1; Xi1; FLT: 1 XI3; XI3; - Organisms influence sedimentation in many ways: reef- building corals create carbonate frameworks; burrowing animals mix and rework sediment (bioturbation); plants stabilize sediment with roots composite organic matter.
