discuss extensively the concept of sedimentary basins,especially with respect to plate tectonics.?

Answer 1

The study of sedimentary basins as a specific entity in themselves is often referred to as basin modelling or Sedimentary Basin Analysis. The need to understand the processes of basin formation and evolution are not restricted to the purely academic. Indeed, sedimentary basins are the location for almost all of the world's hydrocarbon reserves and as such are the focus of intense commercial interest.
