Sedimentary basin analysis involves studying the history of sediment accumulation within depocenters and the tectonic processes that create the basin depression, influence the distribution of sediments, and deform the contained rocks. Aspects of basin analysis, as presented in this chapter, focus on several scales:
Sedimentary basin analysis involves studying the history of sediment accumulation within [[depocenter]]s and the tectonic processes that create the basin depression, influence the distribution of sediments, and deform the contained rocks. Aspects of basin analysis, as presented in this chapter, focus on several scales:
* Plate tectonic/basin—geographic area of crustal subsidence and its sedimentary fill
