Difference between Afar Triple Junction and Sedimentary basin

Afar Triple Junction vs. Sedimentary basin

The Afar Triple Junction (also called the Afro-Arabian Rift System) is located along a divergent plate boundary dividing the Nubian, Somalian, and Arabian plates. Sedimentary basins are regions of Earth of long-term subsidence creating accommodation space for infilling by sediments.

Similarities between Afar Triple Junction and Sedimentary basin

Afar Triple Junction and Sedimentary basin have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Arabian Plate, Continental crust, Dead Sea, Divergent boundary, East African Rift, Graben, Lithosphere, Plate tectonics, Red Sea, Triple junction.

Arabian Plate

The Arabian Plate is a tectonic plate in the northern and eastern hemispheres.

Continental crust

Continental crust is the layer of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that forms the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves.

Dead Sea

The Dead Sea (יָם הַמֶּלַח lit. Sea of Salt; البحر الميت The first article al- is unnecessary and usually not used.) is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west.

Divergent boundary

In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

Lithosphere

A lithosphere (λίθος for "rocky", and σφαίρα for "sphere") is the rigid, outermost shell of a terrestrial-type planet, or natural satellite, that is defined by its rigid mechanical properties.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
