- Abstract
- Nowadays, the deep-water Arctic Basin (Arctic Ocean) is an area of sediment accumulation, transported from the surrounding land, crossing the shelves, which are separated from the ocean with continental slopes. Since the Jurassic to Miocene, the main area of the sediment accumulation was deep and ultradeep troughs, which now are adjacent to the continental slopes. In these troughs, sediments flowed from both land and offshore, and from the rises of the Amerasian Basin, submerged to deep water-depths in the post-Miocene. Based on seismic data, five sedimentary basins, three of which formed into one basin after the Miocene, have been designated in the Arctic Ocean.
