Shale Compaction Kinetics: Parameter Sensitivity to a Range of Assumed Deposition Rates

Weathering and erosion transport minerals and organics toward the sea or lake bottoms over geologic time. The finest solids are deposited in lower, less turbulent areas, such as lake bottoms and continental shelves. They sometimes stack up to thicknesses of kilometers, and begin compacting. These se...
