Fig. 5. Evolution models of unilateral and bilateral prototype basins in plate compressive collision stage. (a) Schematic diagram of a unilateral declining trench-arc-basin system section (the East Africa-Indonesia section of the Indian Ocean); (b) Schematic cross section of a bilateral declining trench-arc-basin system, modified from [41]; (c) Comprehensive profile of a bilateral remnant basin (the North Pacific); (d) Comprehensive profile of a unilateral remnant basin (the Bay of Bengal); (e) Schematic diagram of a comprehensive section of unilateral suture orogeny (the Zagros fold belt); (f) Schematic diagram of a comprehensive section of bilateral suture orogeny (the Caledonian fold belt in the North Atlantic).
