Initial subsidence was most likely caused by a tectonic force related to the back-arc rifting and spreading associated with convergent processes. The southern margin underwent regional deformation (uplift, faulting, and folding) toward the late Miocene. This event was probably due to back-arc deformation caused by changes both in plate motions and in subduction mode at the convergent zones. This content is PDF only.
