What is basin analysis?

What is basin analysis? Geologic method Defining and describing a sedimentary basin Analyze the sediment Composition Primary structures Internal architecture Describe basin components Backarc Forearc passive margin Epicontinental Extensional

Controls of basins Sediment supply (uplift of source area) Subsidence (thrusting, flexing of the lithosphere)—regional tectonic activity Sea level (climate) The rates of these processes is more important then their magnitude.
