Besides tracing reflectors, the mapping of stratigraphic sequences marks a major advance in seismic interpretation. However, construction of sea level curves from sequence stratigraphy is complicated by other factors besides sea level influencing sequence geometry. One such factor is lithology. This point is examined by comparing siliciclastic systems and carbonate platforms.
