Daim, Faleh The creation of the Northern Carnarvon Basin was by multi-stage ductile movement of the lower crustal material, in a general northerly direction, from the Exmouth Plateau, towards the assumed decompression zones along the southern bounding fault of the onshore and offshore Canning Basin. Lower crustal flow is a superior mechanism compared with delamination and underplating as it gives the channel flow necessary to reconcile the robust nature of deformation and subsidence in the Northern Carnarvon basin as well as other basins world-wide.
