Abstract

The sedimentary evolution of the Central European Basin System (CEBS) was driven by both external and internal forces. Whereas internal forces comprise tectonic processes as well as salt-driven and fluid-driven ones, external forces are related to climate, geography, environment and sea level changes during the 300 million years of basin evolution. The latter processes are treated in this part of the book and in this chapter, with special emphasis on gross depositional cycles and the origin of the sediments or specific minerals therein.
