Sentence examples for rate of accommodation from inspiring English sources

Overfilled incised valleys develop when the rate of sediment supply outpaces the rate of accommodation.

During the HST, the sediment supply rate gradually increased and exceeded the rate of accommodation space formation.

The rate of sediment supply was able to keep pace with, or exceeded, the increased rate of accommodation space creation.

This evolution is attributed to an allogenic increase in the rate of accommodation space generation relative to sediment supply due to tectonic activity of the rift basin.

The southern slope of the Gaoyou Depression was steep and narrow such that the increased rate of accommodation creation, triggered by tectonically induced subsidence (fault movements), exceeded the rate of sediment supply (A > S).

This indicates that marine or lacustrine incursion into fluvial environments took place when the increase rate of accommodation space due to relative sea-level rise exceeded the rate of accumulation.

Lake-level fluctuations and sediment supply modulated the distribution pattern and scale of sand bodies by modifying the interrelationship between the rates of accommodation space creation and sediment supply.

Five shelf-margin categories were recognized based on stratal stacking patterns, the trajectory styles and angles (Tse), and the progradation/aggradation ratios (Pse/Ase) that were interpreted in terms of rates of accommodation creation and sediment supply (A/S ratio).

During the second stage (late syn-rift II; 143.5 138.2 Ma), the shelf-margin was affected by increasing rates of accommodation and high sediment supply, which reflects an active period of rifting triggering both tectonic subsidence in the basin, and active uplift in the hinterland.

On the eastern England Shelf, the vertical stacking of pebbly units and the general absence of fine-grained units reflect a slow rate of sediment accommodation generation (18 19.4 m/Myr).

By contrast, in the eastern Irish Sea Basin of west Cumbria, the rate of sediment accommodation generation was substantially greater (119 m/Myr) such that space was available to preserve complete fluvial cycles, including silty drape units that cap the channelized deposits.
