Subbasin

A subbasin or sub-basin is a structural geologic feature where a larger basin is divided into a series of smaller basins with intervening intrabasinal highs.

The term subbasin has common use in geologic literature,[1][2][3][4] but has yet to be included in the API[clarification needed] Glossary of Geology.[5]
