Where is no accommodation space required?
Also, where are the not found?
Why is this?
Where is the most accommodation space found?
A low amplitude short-term oscillation between sediment supply and accommodation space is called what?
Aggradation will occur when what 2 things are equal?
But why is this process short-lived?
When contients are eroded, there will be little influx in sediment to the margin unless what?
What occurs when the sedimentation rate exceeds the accommodation space?
What can this also be termed as?
What type of sequence is this seen in?
What occurs when accommodation space increases faster than the generation of sediment?
What can this also be termed as?
