In the early stretching phase the sub-basins are formatted, and in the late one these sub-basins are linked into large united lake in center of basin. In each phases of compression there are anticlinal structures are formatted.</p><p>In second stage the basin developed with thermal subsidence and enlarged to westward. Miocene structrural plane tenderly covered on the former plane.</p><p>In the latest stage (Pliocene - Quaternary) the development of the basin is the largest in comparison to previous stages. And after some times of impaction by raising and lowering of sea level it is stabilizing under sea level from Holocene epoch to present.</p><p> </p>}, number={2}, journal={Vietnam Journal of Earth Sciences}, author={Viet, Le Trieu and Chinh, Vu Van and Thang, Tran Van and Tung, Van Duc and Ha, Le Thanh and Huong, Nguyen Thi Thanh and Linh, Phan Doan and Nam, Dao Hai and Quynh, Bui Van}, year={2012}, month={Aug.}, pages={136–145} }
