Scientific paper

Reflection seismic data provide evidence that Mesozoic dextral movements along the Great Glen Fault line have had an important influence on the development of the Inner Moray Firth Basin. Geophysical evidence further indicates that deep structure beneath the inner basin is dissimilar to that beneath the outer part and Viking and Central Grabens in the North Sea. Tectonic development of the inner basin can nevertheless be fitted into a pattern of North Sea extensional movements which led to the formation of the graben system with which the major North Sea hydrocarbon resources are associated.
