Course Description		The lecture includes the following topics: Basin classification, factors controlling basin formation and evolution, type of plate boundary, rift, continental rise and terrace, continental embankment, intracratonic basin, continental platform, active ocean, oceanic island, aseismic ridge and plateau, dormant ocean, trench, trench-slope basin, intra-arc basin, back-arc basin, retroarc foreland basin, remnant ocean, peripheral foreland basin, piggyback basin, intermontane basin, strike-slip systems, transtensional basin, transpressional basin, transrotational basin, intracontinental wrench basin, aulacogen, impactogen and successor basin.
Course Outcomes		Formation of sedimentary basins by plate tectonics Recognition of sedimentary beasins developed in different plate tectonic settings Relationship between tectonic and stratigraphic evolutions of the basins Merging of sedimentary basins into the stratigraphic column Recognition of sedimentary basins in the stratigraphic column and interpretation of their tectono-stratigraphic development Lateral and vertical movements on the earth and their results Sea-level fluctuations
