− | One aspect of basin analysis focuses on mapping specific systems tracts of third-, fourth-, or fifth-order sea level cycles and the relationship that stacked depositional sequences deposited during those cycles have to each other. Knowing the order of a cycle or the phase of a cycle represented by a rock sequence is important for predicting the location and type of reservoir and seal and the location of potential [[[[source rock]]s]]. | + | One aspect of basin analysis focuses on mapping specific systems tracts of third-, fourth-, or fifth-order sea level cycles and the relationship that stacked depositional sequences deposited during those cycles have to each other.
