The subsidence of sedimentary basins
Theoretical models for the evolution of extensional sedimentary basins make a number of simple, testable predictions for subsidence behaviour. These are that active extension (the syn-rift) will generally be accompanied by rapid subsidence on the downthrown side of normal faults. Once faulting has c...
