    Sedimentary rock distributions vary depending on the tectonic regime. Stable continental cratons have thick sequences of sedimentary rocks deposited over long periods of time. Recycled orogens from continent collisions experience folding and metamorphism of earlier sedimentary rocks. Volcanic island arcs have thin sequences of shallow marine sediments with volcanic material.
