Sentence examples for the 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.

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.

Mostly, a sequence boundary type one always reflects tectonic activity during deposition (Vail et al. 1977; Emery and Myers 1996; Einsele 2000); therefore, they probably reflect the influence of the Laramide uplift model, especially when the rate of sediment accumulation exceeds the rate of accommodation generation.

The distal part of the wedge represents a basin plain environment and is characterised by a series of crude fining upward successions that are interpreted to reflect changes in the rate of accommodation generation and sediment supply, following from periodic increases in fault activity.

These factors include: 1) the interplay between the rate of accommodation development and the rate of sediment supply (A/S); 2) the amplitude and shape of the relative sea-level curve; 3) the position in the shoreface shelf system; 4) the basin physiography; 5) the shoreline trajectory; 6) the climate-driven environmental energy; 7) the siliciclastic input vs. carbonate production.

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.

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.

Although large-scale depositional geometries mimic lowstand systems track architecture, these sedimentary turnovers are developed in relation with major sea level rise, inducing an increase in the rate of creation of accommodation space that outpaces the capacity of carbonate to keep up.

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.
