tectonic burial
Definition
- Tectonic Burial is the deformation of rocks caused by extreme pressure over millions of years. It often causes temperature evolution's and deep burials. Tectonic burial is usually the result of continental collisions or subduction in a region. An increase in burial depth leads to a weakened basin and basement but creates better preservation structure within the basement.
