The Caspian sedimentary Basin: The Mass Ratio of Water and Rocks

In recent years, the study of the evolution of sedimentary basins is increasingly focusing on the role of deep fluids, whose interaction with the rocks of the sedimentary cover is an essential mechanism for lithogenesis [1]. The Caspian sedimentary Basin is the largest modern continental sedimentary basin. This paper aims at presenting the calculated mass ratios of rock, ground water, and physically bound water for the different tectonic structures of the Caspian sedimentary Basin.
