Lesson 1 part 2 Flashcards
List of fundamental constituents of sedimentary rock
Terrigenous, Chemical/Biochemical, Authigenic, Carbonaceous
Types of sedimentary basin in divergent settings
Terrestrial Rift Valleys and Proto
Oceanic Rift Troughs
Type of basin commonly associated with bimodal volcanism; ex. Rio Grande Rift, NM
Terrestrial Rift Valleys
Incipient oceanic crust and flanked by young rifted continental margins; ex. Red Sea
Proto-Oceanic Rift Troughs
Types of sedimentary basin in continental intraplate settings
Continental Rise and Terraces
Continental embankments
Intracratonic Basins
Continental Platforms
Types of a sedimentary basin in oceanic intraplate settings
Active Ocean Basins
Oceanic Islands, Aseismic ridges and plateaus
Dormant ocean basins
Mature rifted continental Margins in intraplate settings at continental oceanic interfaces
Continental Rise and Terraces
Progradational sediment wedges formed of rifted continental margins
Continental embankments
Broad cratonic basins floored by
fossil rifts in axial zones
Intracratonic Basins
Stable cratons covered with thin laterally extensive sediment cover
Continental Platforms
List of Sedimentary Basin in Transform setting
Transrotaional, Transpressional, Transtensional
List of sedimentary basin in hybrid setting
Aulacogens, imapctogens, and successor basin
