27、 the principle of isostasy thick low-density continental crust floats higher on heavy mantle material than thin high-density oceanic crust. For example, an isostatically compensated continental crust of 50 km thickness e

28、xtends 4 km above the sea, whereas a 6-km-thin oceanic crust is covered by approximately 5 km of water (Holmes, 1965). Plate tectonics provides several mechanisms for both crustal thickening and thinning. The latter, whi

31、anic rift zones. The latter are elevated above the sea floor because of thermal expansion of the affec</p><p>　　Loading affects. When sediments accumulate on an isostatically compensated crust the additional

32、 load will create a disequilibrium which will be balanced by subsidence. This means that, whatever the initial cause for the creation of a depositional site, once sediments are beginning to accumulate, their weight and c

33、ompaction are in some measure responsible for the deposition of additional sediments. This, to some extent self-prepetuating process is particularly well shown by the flexural bending u</p><p>　　As has been

34、discussed before, additional causes of sediment and coal formation are provided by subsurface salt migration and leaching, and eustatic sea-level changes, in particular by their interaction with crustal movements, which

35、produce a variety of sedimentary responses in different tectonic domains. For example, rifting of oceanic crust has depositional consequences quite different from the separation of continental crust. The rifting of conti

37、marized in Fig.9.1. This interpretation is based on the notion that the creation of new lithospheric crust along mid-oceanic rifts and the lateral movement of the lithospheric slabs towards subductionzones, where oceanic
