===Basin Formation Method <ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentary_basin </ref> ===
Basins form primarily in convergent, divergent and transform settings. Convergent boundaries create foreland basins through tectonic compression of oceanic and [[continental crust]] during lithospheric flexure. Tectonic extension at divergent boundaries where continental rifting is occurring can create a nascent ocean basin leading to either an ocean or the failure of the rift zone. In tectonic strike-slip settings, accommodation spaces occur as transpresional, transtensional or transrotational basins according to the motion of the plates along the fault zone and the local topography pull-apart basins.
