North Sea Basin
The North Sea Basin is a geological area located beneath the North Sea, bordered by several countries including the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. It is known for its rich natural resources, particularly oil and natural gas, which have been extensively explored and extracted since the 1960s. The basin is characterized by various geological formations, including sedimentary rocks that have accumulated over millions of years.
This region plays a significant role in the energy sector of Europe, contributing to the energy supply of many countries. The North Sea is also important for fishing and shipping activities, making it a vital area for both economic and environmental interests. Additionally, ongoing research and exploration efforts aim to better understand the basin's geology and potential for renewable energy sources.
