Contents
Thin‐skinned fold‐and‐thrust belts related to convergence tectonics develop by scraping off a rock sequence along a weaker basal décollement often formed by water‐saturated shale layers or low‐viscosity salt horizons. A two‐dimensional finite element model with a viscoelastoplastic rheology is used to investigate the structural evolution of fold‐an...
