This image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.It is recommended to name the SVG file “Backstripping and eustasy correction.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.

Summary
| Description |
English: Procedure to correct the depth of a sedimentary unit for eustasy and water depth (which equals to calculate the total subsidence relative to a stationary datum) and subsequently to perform a "backstripping", e.g. to take out the effect of sediment loading from the total subsidence and to calculate the amount of tectonic subsidence (i.e. subsidence due to a tectonic driving force) relative to a stationary datum. This procedure is valid in a water-filled basin, where the sediments and the crust are in isostatic equilibrium with the underlying mantle (according to Airy isostasy model) |
