Compaction of Sedimentary Rocks: Shales, Sandstones and Carbonates
2015
The physical properties of sedimentary rocks change continuously during burial as a response to increasing stress and temperature; they also change to a certain extent during uplift and cooling. There is an overall drive towards lower porosity with depth, which increases the sediment density and sonic/seismic velocity.
