Third-order Cycles

Third-Order Cycles is a sequence stratigraphic framework representing a hierarchical order of sedimentary depositional cycles, distinguished by a duration of approximately 0.5 to 5 million years and typically linked to eustatic sea-level changes driven by plate tectonics and climatic fluctuations.
