Desert and Rainforest, I believe this could the right answer
They differ in some social and ritual customs, and in some aspects of their cuisine.
These 'surface' differences stem from their respective historical geographic origins. The history of the 'Sephardim' springs from western Europe and North Africa, including Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, and Arabia. The history of the 'Ashkenazim' is rooted in Eastern Europe, including Germany, Poland, the Baltics, Russia, and the 'Stans' ... Tajik, Kazakh, Uzbek, etc.
One fascinating feature of this split, isolated evolution of Judaism ... and there are many ... is the fact that even though the two streams evolved, with almost zero contact, for as much as 1,000 years, a Sephardic Torah scroll and an Ashkenazic Torah scroll are totally identical, down to the last character in every one of their 10,290 lines of text written in 245 columns.

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!
