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!
There are three meanings.
1. the process or fact of isolating or being isolated.
2. denoting a hospital or ward for patients with contagious or infectious diseases.
3. an instance of isolating something, especially a compound or microorganism.
When scientists discuss the great oxygenation event, they are referring to a time when the transition from the mildly reducing Archean atmosphere-ocean system to the oxygenated atmosphere and shallow oceans of the early Paleoproterozoic that started between ~2.4 and 2.3 Ga and ended between 2.1 and 2.0 Ga.
- here The Great Oxidation Event, also called the Great Oxygenation Event, the Oxygen Catastrophe, the Oxygen Revolution, and the Oxygen Crisis, was a time interval when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in the amount of oxygen.
- in this event Gradually, the accumulated oxygen started escaping into the atmosphere, where it reacted with methane. As more oxygen escaped, methane was eventually displaced, and oxygen became a major component of the atmosphere.
- The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) was the creation of free oxygen in our atmosphere. It was caused by cyanobacteria doing photosynthesis

For volcanoes to emerge oceanic and continental tectonic plate has to collide. Oceanic plate will subduct (sink), and will melt. Molten plate rises through crusts and forms volcanoes.
In Himalayas two sections of continental crust and create mountains (they don't subduct and melt).
Running water is the leading cause of soil erosion, because water is abundant and has a lot of power. Wind is also a leading cause of soil erosion because wind can pick up soil and blow it far away.
