    A carbonate platform is a sedimentary body with topographic relief composed of autochthonous calcareous deposits. There are several types of carbonated platforms including rimmed shelves, epeiric platforms, drowned platforms, ramps, isolated platforms, and non-edged carbonated platforms. Rimmed shelves are flat, shallow areas restricted by an edge that stops wave action, commonly found in warm waters. Non-edged carbonated platforms are also flat and shallow but open without a pronounced edge, usually occurring in colder waters with a more gradual transition from shallow to deep waters and less intense energy than rimmed shelves.

    A carbonate platform is a sedimentary


    body that has a topographic relief, and
    DEFINITION is composed of calcareous
    . autochthonous deposits
    CARBONATES

    What are
    carbonates?

    Examples
    TYPES OF CARBONATED
    PLATFORMS
    Rimme

    Epeiric Drowned
    platform platform

    Isolated
    Ramp
    platform
    RIMMED SHELF

    Flat, shallow and restricted. Characterized by an edge


    that stops the action of the waves. Commonly in areas
    with warm water
    RIMMED SHELF

    Accretional Bypass Erosional


    NON-EDGED CARBONATED
    PLATAFORM

    Flat, shallow and open without a pronounced


    marginal edge. Common in areas with cold water.
    * Gradual change of plain water to
    Deep
    * There are no drastic changes in
