           BASIN

Introduction:-

Sedimentary basin are regions where sediment are accumulates into succession over areas of thousands to hundreds of meters in thickness .

The underlying controls on the formation sedimentary basin is plate tectonics setting and tectonic processes .

Sedimentary basins are region of long term subsidence creating accommodation space for infiling by sediments.

MECHANISM OF BASIN

Sedimentary basins can result from a variety of causes,

* Thinning of bed

* Sedimentary, volcanic, and tectonic loading

*  Changes in thickness or density of adjacent lithosphere

* Mechanical stretching

* Thermal subsidence 

* Loading / sagging

connection to oceans and sea level changes:-

climate effects of weathering, transport and deposition:-

                                    CLASSIFICATION

;- There are three main settings of basin formation can be recognized

1. Basin associated with regional extension within and between the plate
2. basin related to convergence plate boundaries 
3. basin associated with strike-slip plate boundaries

BASIN ASSOCIATED WITH REGIONAL EXTENSION:-

• Intraplate basin
• Terrestrial rift basin
• Protooceanic rift basin
• passive margin basin
• active basin
• Dormant basin

BASIN RELATED CONVERGENCE PLATE BOUNDRIES:-

• Trenches
• Fore arc basin
• Back arc basin
• Peripheral foreland basin
• Complex and hybrid basin

BASIN RELATED TO STRIKE SLIP PLATE BOUNDRIES

1. Transtensional basin
2. Transcompresional basin
3. Transrotational basin
