Carbonate platform is a sedimentary
CARBONATE body which possesses topographic

PLATFORM relief, and is composed
autochthonous calcareous deposits
 Epeiric platform (Wilson, 1975)

CARBONATE Carbonate ramp has consistently very low
angle slopes, some have distally
RAMP steepened.
 carbonate shelves are flat-topped (<1o
CARBONATE basin ward) areas of carbonate
accumulation, some have a barrier to
SHELF absorb wave energy (rimmed shelf), some
haven’t (non-rimmed shelf)
 The epriric platform is like another
EPEIRIC carbonate shelf but without a barrier in
the edge and have a vast area more
PLATFORM than another carbonate shelf (10-100
km from shoreline)
 or carbonate bank is a
ISOLATE platform that has a
D flat-topped area and
cut off from
PLATFOR terrigenous clastic. All
M sides are exposed to
open seas.
