The physical properties of sedimentary rocks change continuously during burial as a response to increasing stress and temperature; they also change to a certain extent during uplift and cooling. There is an overall drive towards lower porosity with depth, which increases the density and velocity. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
