Lithospheric flexure due to prograding sediment loads: implications for the origin of offlap/onlap patterns in sedimentary basins
Simple elastic plate models have been used to determine the stratigraphic patterns that result from prograding sediment loads. The predicted patterns, which include coastal offlap/onlap and downlap in a basinward direction, are generally similar to observations of stratal geometry from Cenozoic sequ...
