“…This is consistent with the observation that slope flexure zones normally develop in the accommodation zone areas in continental rift-subsidence basins (e.g. Xie et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2010;Bao et al, 2011;Hou et al, 2012). Therefore, we suggest that the occurrence of the accommodation zone complicated the stratal architecture in the southern slope of the Fushan Depression, and resulted in architectural variability of stratigraphic sequences.…”

“…In the previous studies, the stratal architectural variability has been simply attributed to various tectonic backgrounds or slope break belts (e.g. Le Dantec et al, 2010;Hou et al, 2012;Feng et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014). This study suggests that the stratal architectures of the Fushan Depression are greatly controlled by the accommodation zone.…”

“…6 zones have great impact on the distribution of depositional systems and the accumulation of sand bodies, especially in continental rift basins (Hou et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2015). However, no study based on tectono-sequence stratigraphy has been carried out to determine the relationship between accommodation zones and stratal architecture variability.…”

“…In tectonically active sedimentary basins, the rate, magnitude and style of tectonic movements plays a key role in determining the locations of sediments sources, the depositional facies and the strata architecture (Gawthorpe and Leeder, 2000;Dorsey et al, 2001;Lin et al, 2001 andAlves et al, 2002;Leeder, 2011;Hou et al, 2012), although the effects of relative base level changes can still be important (Howell and Flint,1996;Dorsey and Umhoefer, 2000).…”

In this study, more attention has been paid to the spatial relationship between the accommodation zone and architectural variability of stratigraphic sequences as well as the controlling effect of the accommodation zone on sediment supply.…”

Different sequence types were formed in various stages associated with tectonic variations and changes of the sediment supply in the rift‐related Wenchang Formation. Based on cores, wire logging, and seismic data, the sequence stratigraphy, depositional systems, and controls on the depositional systems of the Wenchang Formation in the Lufeng Depression were studied. The Wenchang Formation developed braided‐delta, lacustrine, fan‐delta, and nearshore subaqueous fan deposits and represents one first‐order sequence and three second‐order sequences, indicating three stages of tectonostratigraphic evolution. (a) The early syn‐rift sequence (SSQ1) developed fan‐delta and shallow lacustrine deposits. (b) The rift climax sequence (SSQ2) contains the early rift climax systems tract and the middle‐late rift climax systems tract. The early rift climax systems tract formed primarily braided‐delta and shallow lacustrine deposits, whereas the middle‐late rift climax systems tract developed mostly semi‐deep to deep lacustrine deposits. (c) The late syn‐rift sequence (SSQ3) developed braided‐delta and shallow lacustrine deposits. In the SSQ3 transgressive systems tract, retrogradational parasequence sets developed along the southern dip slope because of the weak sediment supply from the Huilu low uplift, whereas westward aggradational–progradational parasequence sets developed along the long axis because of the stronger sediment supply from the Lufeng eastern low uplift. Tectonic activity primarily controlled the early syn‐rift and rift climax deposition; syn‐depositional faults formed the transfer zones and slope break zones. Three types of transfer zones for sedimentary transport into the basin were distinguished, including synthetic approaching transfer zones, strike ramps, and collateral transfer zones. Three types of slope break zones were also recognised, including fault scarp zones controlling fan deltas and nearshore subaqueous fans, fault terrace zones controlling low‐stand fan deltas, and antithetic fault terrace dip‐slope zones controlling braided deltas.
