processes related to the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins The term sedimentary basin is used to refer to any geographical feature exhibiting subsidence and consequent infilling by sedimentation. As the sediments are buried, they are subjected to increasing pressure and begin the process of lithification. and discuss the implications of these processes for the development of
hydrocarbon resources. This second edition takes into account the
explosion of new data, technology, and concepts in the field since the
first edition was published, and contains new material on lithospheric
deformation deformation /de·for·ma·tion/ (de?for-ma´shun)
1. in dysmorphology, a type of structural defect characterized by the abnormal form or position of a body part, caused by a nondisruptive mechanical force.
2. , mantle dynamics, erosion processes in sediment delivery to
basins, and thermochronological and exposure dating tools. The book is
for advanced students and professional earth scientists.
