Cekungan Sedimen (Sedimentary Basin)

 Persepsi Umum (General Perception) mendefinisikan : “suatu
tempat berbentuk cekungan dimana sedimen diendapkan”.
 Genetic definition : Menurut Allen dan Allen(1990) “

Sedimentary basins are regions of prolonged subsidence of
earth’s surface”.
 Mekanisme penyebab subsidence (penurunan) berkaitan dengan proses

yang terjadi pada litosfera dimana litosfera ini terdiri atas beberapa
lempeng, maka cekungan sedimen sangat berkaitan erat dengan
pergerakan lempeng – lempeng
Cekungan Sedimen
Klasifikasi Cekungan Sedimen
Menurut Allen dan Allen (1990) cekungan – cekungan sedimen

(sedimentary basins) telah diklasifikasikan berkaitan dengan jenis
substratum litosfera (seperti : kontinental, oceanic, atau transisi),
kedudukannya pada batas – batas lempeng (plate boundary) seperti
intra cratonic, plate margin.
Mekanisme Pembentukan
Cekungan
Menurut Allen and Allen (1990) ada 3 faktor

utama penyebab terbentuknya cekungan:
1. Basins due to lithospheric stretching.
2. Basins generated by flexure on continental and oceanic
crust.
3. Basins associated with strike-slip deformations.
RIFT BASIN
Mekanisme Pembentukan Cekungan
1. Basins due to lithospheric stretching:

Rifting/spreading : (Aulacogens, Passive
Margins)
Penyebab :
•thermal (high heat flows)
•negative Bouger gravity anomalies
•volcanic activities
•often associated with crustal doming.
•Tension area : cekungan pada daerah graben.
 Contoh : East Africa, Rio Grand, Baikel dan Rhine.
2. Basins generated by flexure on continental and

oceanic crust.
• Continental Flexure : Collision Zones
 Gangga Basin : topographic load of Himalaya too large to
account for the deflection of India plate : Gangga basin 
opposite by topographic
 Load of Zagros Mountain in Messopotamian Plate
insufficient to made flexure of the Arabian Plate.
 Foreland Basins (Fore deep)
• Oceanic Flexure :
 Subduction Zones is responsible for the formation of deep
oceanic trench.
 The flexure of the lithosphere under the load of mid-plate
oceanic island.

DEVELOPMENT OF SEDIMENTARY BASIN :
TECTONO-STRATIGRAPHY AND THE PLATE-TECTONICS
CONCEPT OF SEDIMENTARY BASIN
• Segment of the earth’s crust where

sedimentary layers are accumulating
forming sedimentary strata relatively thicker
than its surrounding area.
TECTONO-STRATIGRAPHY:
• To arrange sedimentary strata in its tectonic

environment
• Tectono-stratigraphic sequences are separated by
unconformities which reflects a tectonic event
• The tectonics event caused a change in the tectonic
environment are e.g. rifting, sagging, collision, uplift,
etc.
• Each tectonic environment is characterized by a
certain facies association
TECTONO-STRATIGRAPHIC TERMS
• Pre-Rift
• Syn-Rift
• Post-Rift, Sag
• Passive Margin Deposition (Syn-drift?)
• Pre-Orogenic (Pre-Collision)
• Syn-Orogenic (Syn-Collision)
• Post Orogenic (Post Collision)
BASIN EVOLUTION
• Sedimentary basins evolved from one to another type

• Superimposition of various type of basin on top of the other occurs
• Sedimentary sequences of various types of basin can be analysed in
tectono-stratigraphical sequences:
EXTENSIONAL BASIN DEVELOPMENT
• Rifting ----> grabens, half graben basins ----> synrift sedimentation
• Break-up -----> aulacogene basins  deltaic sedimentation
• Drifting -----> passive margin basins  passive margin sedimentation
• Spreading (oceanic) -----> oceanic basins ----> deep marine
sedimentation
EXTENSIONAL TO COMPRESSIONAL REGIME
• Drifting -------> passive margin basin sedimentation
• Arc-Continent Collision ----> Subduction -----> back
arc, interarc and fore-arc basins
• ------->Obduction --------->foreland basins, fore
deeps
• Continent to continent collision------> Suture related
foreland and fore deep basins
TRANSVERGENCE T0
CONVERGENCE REGIME
• Rifting ------------> transtensional rift basins (graben-
half graben)
• Sagging - general subsidence initial development of
back arc basin
• Arc Continent Collision -----> subduction----> back arc
basin -----> fore arc basin
DIVERGENCE TO TRANSVERGENCE
REGIME
• Rifting -------> extensional rifT basins ----------> syn-rift
deposition
• Sagging -------> thermal subsidence -----------> marine
deposition
• Drifting -------> passive margin basins ---------> shallow
marine - shelf sedimentation
• Wrenching ------> transtensional rift basin -------> coarse
clastic sedimentaion
• Wrenching - colliding --> transpressional/ compressional
----perch foreland basin -- synorogenic and post orogenic
sedimentation
TECTONIC INVERSION.
• During the transition from extensional to compressional tectonic

regime a tectonic inversion, often takes place
• Faults are reactivated with inversion of direction of movement
• Lower parts of the basin e.g. ‘graben’ are inverted into highs within
the sedimentary basin
• Inversion is a common feature in Tertiary sedimentary basin on the
Sunda Shelf
