Structural basins are geological depressions, and are the inverse of dome geology dome s. Some elongated structural basins are also known as syncline s. Structural basins may also be sedimentary basin s, which are aggregations of sediment that filled up a depression or accumulated in an area however, many structural basins were formed by tectonic events long after the sedimentary layers were deposited.
