Answer:
Subsidence is so slow that there seems to have been no depression of the upper surface of the lithosphere, so depositional environments are mostly the
same as those in surrounding areas; the succession is just thicker. These
successions are also more complete, however—there are fewer and smaller
diastems—so at times the basin must have remained under water while surrounding areas were emergent. (A diastem is a brief interruption in
sedimentation, with little or no erosion before sedimentation resumes.)
Size, shape: rounded, equidimensional, hundreds of kilometers across
Sediment fill: shallow-water cratonal sediments (carbonates, shales, sandstones),
thicker and more complete than in adjacent areas of the craton but still
relatively thin, hundreds of meters.
Hopefully that helps!
PUT ANSWER CHOICES DOWN
PLEASE
Answer:
Options (1), (3), (4), and (5)
Explanation:
The mass movement is often referred to as the downslope movement of materials such as rock particles, soil and sand under the influence of gravity. The factors that are responsible for the mass movement are gravity, steepening of the slope, lack of vegetation cover, oversaturation of soil or materials. They can also occur during an earthquake as the ground shakes. These mass wasting is also considered as the mass wasting process.
This mass wasting process occurs in the following ways-
(1) Falls
(2) Slides
(3) Creeps
(4) Flows
Thus, the correct answers are options (1), (3), (4), and (5).

Who used the theory of uniformitarianism to expand the age of the Earth?
Charles Lyell used the theory of uniformitarianism to expand the age of the Earth. His scheme provided the "extending time" obligatory so that biological evolution would have taken place.
Hope I helped (:
Have a great day!
