There are many examples of cyclic stratigraphy in the sedimentary record. In some cases this stratigraphy is attributed to periodic variations in sea level. In this paper a harmonic variation in sea level is superimposed on a constant velocity of tectonic subsidence in order to generate synthetic cyclic stratigraphy. Maximum rates of sedimentation and erosion are considered. The age dependence and water depth of the resulting cyclic stratigraphy is determined. The results are compared with cyclic sedimentation in the Pennsylvanian age sediments in northwestern Kansas. Spatial variations of synthetic cyclic stratigraphy can be used to generate synthetic seismic stratigraphy.
