Actualistic plate‐tectonic models are the best framework within which to understand the
tectonics of sedimentary basins. Sedimentary basins develop in divergent, intraplate …

The vertical tectonics inherent in the scheme of lateral motions of plates of lithosphere
affords a coherent logic for the analysis of sedimentary basins. Subsidence may stem from …

Tectonic setting exerts first-order control on basin formation as reflected in basin subsidence
history. While our approach ignores the effects of flexural loading and eustatic sea-level …

Investigating the complex interplay between tectonics and sedimentation is a key endeavor
in modern earth science. Many of the world's leading researchers in this field have been …

The rate at which sedimentary fill accumulates in both modern and ancient depositional
basins is related to plate tectonic setting, among other factors. The tectonic setting of any …

Thick sedimentary deposits have formed on continental crust throughн out much of
geological time. These basins can be conveniently classified into (a) Atlantic marginal …

The primary goal of this chapter is to describe the dynamic interplay between deformation
and sedimentation within subduction zones. Physical pro-cesses of sedimentation in …

The modem geological sciences are characterized by extraordinarily rapid prog ress, as well
as by the development and application of numerous new and refined methods, most of them …
