Figure 7. Comparison between actual and apparent accommodations calculated from the modeled stratigraphic grids in space and time domains (Wheeler diagrams). (A) Actual accommodation in space; (B) difference between actual and apparent accommodation in space. Only small differences (<15%) are calculated on the platform edge. (C) Apparent accommodation; (D) actual accommodation in time and space (Wheeler diagram). The values are constant in space for each of the time intervals (the model is realized with one accommodation curve). (E) Difference between actual and apparent accommodations in space and time (Wheeler diagram). The difference between the two parameters is maximum in the platform domain in relation to the stratigraphic hiatuses (lowstands and coastal onlaps). (F) Apparent accommodation in time and space domain (Wheeler diagram).
