The geological evolution of the North Sea area in the tectonic framework of North Western Europe.

The development history of the North Sea area can be subdivided into five stages: 1) Caledonian geosynclinal stage (Cambrian-Silurian), 2) Variscan geosynclinal stage (Devoanin-Carboniferous), 3) Permo-Triassic intracratonic stage, 4) Jurassic-Cretaceous taphrogenic rifting stage, 5) Tertiary post-r...
