[[Mesozoic]] and [[Cenozoic]] fluvial systems have filled in the northern margins of the GOM [[rift]] basin, [[Progradation|prograding]] the [[continental margin]] of one area until sediment input shifts to another area ([[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-4.png|Figure 1]]). [[Subsidence]] is related to [[basement]] cooling or differential response of basement types to loading ([[:file:sedimentary-basin-analysis_fig4-6.png|Figure 2]]). Formation of [[diapir]]s and tectonic movement of [[growth-fault]] systems has already being discussed as it relates to sediment loading. Fluctuation in sea level is discussed in [[Sea level cycle phase]].
