Current situation and developing tendency of sequence stratigraphy

Sequence stratigraphy is based on seismic stratigraphy, log geology, processo-sedimentary, paleozoology, isotope geology and so on It is a synthetical subject which mainly studies relations between relative lithological sequence and circled lithological sequence in chronohorizon formation framework, and provides a new method by which division and correlatioon of sedimentary rock can be done in space We can objectively build up vertical and lateral stack sequence of sedimentary rock with sequence stratigraphy In the paper, the newest recognization about basic principle and controlling factores of sequence stratigraphy is analysed Moreover,the four developing tendencies of sequence stratigraphy are provided
