Through the use of seismic reflection profiles,satellite images,and balanced kinematic models,we describe patterns that help to identify imbricate structures and define the sequence of thrusting in …

Aug 25, 2009 · Deep-water toe thrust anticlines have been interpreted using traditional models derived from observations in orogenic thrust belts and accretionary prisms, such as fault-propagation folds, …

These observations imply relatively small distortions of the thrust sheets along the strike to accommodate variations i n displacement along the thrust surfaces.

A thrust system is an interconnected network of thrust faults that are usually also kinematically linked. Horizontal shortening forces the topography upwards, creating a mountain defined as a landform …

n thrust belts is duplex structure. At its sim plest, a duplex consists of two or more dipping thrusts that are bound above nd be low by sub horizontal faults. These ar called the floor and roof thrusts. The …

• Deformation mainly accommodated by slip along break–forward propagation mode • Closely space thrust ramps and folded hanging–walls • Continuous individual thrust–fault planes (up to the depth of …

Here, we present 2-D crustal numerical models of a shallow steep listric thrust (as 38 inferred in the region) embedded in the high viscosity upper crust, and we show that such 39 model reproduces the …
