What is Lowstand Systems Tract Overview about?

This document discusses sequence stratigraphy and systems tracts. It explains that a complete sequence contains three systems tracts in ascending order: lowstand, transgressive, and highstand. The lowstand systems tract includes basin-floor fan, slope fan, prograding wedge, and on-shelf incised-valley fill deposited during falling sea levels. As sea levels fall, rivers incise the shelf, forming an unconformity boundary between fluvial sands and marine facies.
