Tectonic burial

Tectonic Burial is the deformation of rocks caused by extreme pressure over millions of years.[1] It often causes temperature evolutions and deep burials.[2] Tectonic burial is usually the result of continental collisions or subduction in a region.[3] An increase in burial depth leads to a weakened basin and basement but creates better preservation structure within the basement.[4]
