Home›Structural and Tectonic Formations›Sedimentary Basins and Depressions›All Sedimentary Basins and DepressionsBrowse ByAll Sedimentary Basins and DepressionsThis group collects the Structural and Tectonic Formations subcategory's members that are sedimentary basins, drainage basins and other structural depressions where sediment accumulates over a downwarped or fault-bounded section of crust, including desert basins and oceanic basins treated at this subcategory's structural rather than purely hydrological scale. These features are defined by subsidence and infill rather than by the uplift, faulting or rifting that define this subcategory's other structural groups.FactsAll Sedimentary Basins and DepressionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining ProcessWell-attestedRegion-scale crustal depressions where subsidence has let a thick sequence of sediment accumulate. 1All Sedimentary Basins and DepressionsFilter Results22 entriesFormation FamilyAllSedimentary Basins and Depressions (22)Formation TypeAllSedimentary Basins and Depressions (22)WhereAllAntarctica (1)Bolivia (1)China (2)Kazakhstan (1)Kyrgyzstan (2)Mexico (2)Pakistan (1)Poland (1)Portugal (1)Spain (2)Tajikistan (2)United States (11)Uzbekistan (2)Formed By (Process)AllErosion (13)Faulting (1)Orogeny (3)Protected StatusAllInternational Treaty Protected Area (1)National Monument or Landmark (1)National Park or Reserve (3)UNESCO World Heritage Site (1)DisciplineAllGeomorphology (21)Structural Geology (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 22Basin and range topographyStructural and Tectonic FormationsBentley Subglacial TrenchStructural and Tectonic FormationsBitter Spring ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsCuyama ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsEagle Valley (Nevada)Structural and Tectonic FormationsFergana ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsFish Lake ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsGoose Lake ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsHuayna PotosiStructural and Tectonic FormationsJelenia Góra ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsJornada del MuertoStructural and Tectonic FormationsOceanic BasinStructural and Tectonic FormationsOriental BasinStructural and Tectonic FormationsPahranagat ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsPanamint ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsSalt Surface StructuresStructural and Tectonic FormationsSan Luis ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsSia KangriStructural and Tectonic FormationsSouth Park (Park County, Colorado)Structural and Tectonic FormationsTagus BasinStructural and Tectonic FormationsTennessee ValleyStructural and Tectonic FormationsTian ShanStructural and Tectonic FormationsSources1.
