==Prograding reflector patterns==

One of the most common depositional features observed in seismic sections are clinoforms manifested in a configuration pattern called ''offlap''. Clinoforms are progradational strata that form through the progressive development of gently sloping surfaces. Paleowater depths can be interpreted from the height of prograding clinoforms.
