Growth and erosion of fold-and-thrust belts with an application to the Aconcagua fold-and-thrust belt, Argentina
[1] The development of topography within and erosional removal of material from an orogen exerts a primary control on its structure. We develop a model that describes the temporal development of a frontally accreting, critically growing Coulomb wedge whose topography is largely limited by bedrock fluvial incision. We present general results for arbitrary initial critical wedge geometries and in...
متن کاملErosional control of the kinematics and geometry of fold‐and‐thrust belts imaged in a physical and numerical sandbox
[1] We investigate the effect of systematically varying erosion intensity (K) on the geometry and kinematics of fold‐and‐thrust belts modeled using equivalent conditions in physical and numerical experiments. Similar material properties and boundary conditions were used to compare numerical experiments to those modeled in the sandbox using an erosion rule that removes mass from the scaled sand ...
متن کاملCollapse structures in Dowgonbadan region, Zagros fold- thrust belt
Allochthonous masses are common structures in Zagros fold-thrust belt. They are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. However, large allochthonous masses mapped in Dowgonbadan area in Dezful Embayment near the Mountain Front Fault (MFF) of Zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...
متن کاملRelative timing of calcite twinning strain and fold-thrust belt development; Hudson Valley fold-thrust belt, New York, U.S.A
Coarse-grained limestone samples were collected across the Hudson Valley Fold-Thrust Belt with the aim of determining the temporal and spatial relationship between calcite twinning strain and fold-thrust belt development. The majority of the samples have well defined oblate strain ellipsoids with the maximum shortening axes (e3) perpendicular to bedding strike, and e3 magnitudes that range from...
متن کاملInvestigation of folding lateral growth using study of erosional processes and geomorphological and hydrogeological indices (Case study: Khaviz oilfield)
Recognition of growth pattern and folding mechanism in the fold-thrust belts with hydrocarbon resources is important in exploration and development planning of oilfields. As the processes of tectonics, erosion, and geomorphology impact on each other, therefore, the investigation of a process, one can obtain information about the other process. In this research the tectonic process of transverse...
