Phenomena governing the evolution of sedimentary basins and basin geometry are recorded in the stratigraphic pattern. Short term fluctuations of the accomodation space are superimposed on long term phenomena that increase the basin volume (initial stretching, effects of thermal contraction of the lithosphere and sedimentary loading). Basin evolution may then be analysed by studying sedimentary sequences and especially :1) the geometry of their boundaries (faults and unconformities) , 2) their facies, 3) their age, and 4) variations of their physical properties (radio-activity, porosity .... ). Back-stripping, differential subsidence diagrams, and geometrical methods (balanced cross-sections) allow to quantify vertical and horizontal motions...
