The 26 pages that link to Sedimentary basin, each with the reason it gives.

• SedimentationBroader topic: It collects successive sediment deposits over geological time.

• Petroleum geologyNarrower topic: Basin history sets the burial, heating, and structural conditions behind petroleum systems.

• Continental riftingRelated: Rift subsidence creates accommodation space for thick sedimentary sequences.

• Karoo SupergroupNarrower topic: Subsiding basins created accommodation space for the supergroup’s thick sedimentary sequences.

• Alluvial plainRelated: Subsiding basins provide space for thick sequences of plain-forming river deposits.

• Source rockNarrower topic: Basin subsidence provides the burial history that matures organic-rich layers.

• Foreland basinNarrower topic: Foreland basins are a tectonically defined kind of sedimentary basin.

• Passive marginRelated: Subsiding margins host thick sedimentary basins along the continent-ocean transition.

• Salt tectonicsNarrower topic: Salt tectonics commonly unfolds as basin sediments load, bury, and deform salt layers.

• Paris BasinNarrower topic: The Paris Basin is a classic intracratonic example of this geological structure.

• Salt domeRelated: Basin burial supplies the pressure and overburden beneath which salt mobilizes.

• Accommodation spaceRelated: Basin geometry and subsidence control the location and capacity of accommodation.

• Nubian Sandstone Aquifer SystemRelated: The aquifer’s sandstone reservoirs formed within extensive sedimentary basins.

• Salt miningNarrower topic: Ancient basins contain many of the bedded salt deposits mined today.

• Tectonic subsidenceBroader topic: Many sedimentary basins form as tectonic subsidence creates space for sediment.

• Economic geologyRelated: Basin evolution creates settings for resources such as coal, evaporites, and sediment-hosted ores.

• UluruRelated: Uluru’s sediments were deposited in an ancient basin before being buried and cemented.

• Fossa MagnaNarrower topic: The Fossa Magna is characterized by a broad basin filled with thick sedimentary deposits.

• Pull-apart basinNarrower topic: A pull-apart basin is a tectonically defined type of sedimentary basin.

• Turpan DepressionRelated: Its sedimentary fill records the basin’s long geological history.

• Oceanic basinCompared with: It is defined by sediment accumulation, unlike an oceanic basin’s seafloor setting.

• Structural basinRelated: Structural downwarping can create accommodation space for sediment, though the terms describe different properties.

• Campos BasinNarrower topic: Campos Basin is a sedimentary basin whose accumulated strata preserve its petroleum systems.

• Cratonic sequenceNarrower topic: Cratonic sequences are broad depositional packages within the larger history of sedimentary basins.

• Fault blockRelated: Down-dropped blocks create accommodation space for thick sedimentary deposits.

• Organic geochemistryRelated: Basin history controls the burial, heating, and preservation of organic matter.
