A classification of sedimentary basins is proposed by the type of the Earth's crust structure and by the position of the basin in relation to the major morphostructures of the ocean-continent transition zone. Among the basins formed on the crust of oceanic and transition types, basins-trenches, back-arc and inter-arc basins are distinguished. Among the basins formed on the continental crust, fore-arc, intra-arc, continental-margin and intra-continental basins are defined. The role of eustatic fluctuations of the World Ocean level and that of tectonic movements both global and regional in the formation and evolution of basins is analyzed.completedSolid-earth geophysicsAsiaback-arc basinsbasinsBohai BayBohai Seacontinental crustcrustDeep Sea Drilling ProjectEast China Seaeastern AsiaFar Eastfore-arc basinslandform evolutionNorth PacificNorthwest Pacificocean floorsoceanic crustPacific mobile beltPacific OceanPacific regionPhilippine Seasedimentary basinstransition zonestrenchesunconformitiesWest PacificYellow SeaRussiangeoscientificInformation117.3000150.00000.000039.0000Bohai BayEast China SeaPhilippine Sea
