openbasin
An open basin is a geological feature characterized by a depression or hollow in the Earth's surface that is not enclosed by a rim or walls. These basins can vary significantly in size, from small depressions a few meters across to vast, low-lying areas spanning hundreds of kilometers. Open basins are typically formed by a combination of tectonic activity, erosion, and other geological processes.
One of the most well-known types of open basin is the rift valley, which is created by
Open basins can also be found in various landscapes, including deserts, where they may be filled with
The study of open basins is crucial for understanding geological processes, climate change, and the distribution
