Abstract: There are excellent coupling between foreland basin and orogenic belt. Study shows that thrust tectonic events could produce profound influences to basinal accommodation, hence control the basinal fillings and the stratigraphic superposed forms. There are two stages during the development of foreland basin. The first stage is closely interrelated with the subsidence caused by loading emplacement, and the second stage appears the erosion phase of the trust belt which may cause the continued sedimentation. The different depositional sequences reflect the different tectonic events which are the sedimentary responses of different tectonic movements.

Key words: foreland basin, thrust structure, coupling, sedimentary response
