Southeast Asia

  • Chapter
The Ocean Basins and Margins

Abstract

The Southeast Asia region is composed of a Sundaland core of Mesozoic cratonization, which includes Burma east of the Shan Scarp, Thailand, Yunnan, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and the western half of Borneo (Fig. 1). This continental nucleus is the source of more than 50% of the world’s tin. Sundaland is enveloped on the west and south by the Cenozoic Sunda arc-trench system. Back-arc Tertiary shelf basins support an expanding petroleum industry.
