The effects of basal friction and basement configuration on deformation of fold-and-thrust belts: insights from analogue modeling

This thesis discusses the effects of basal friction and basement configuration on the deformation of the fold-and-thrust belts in convergent zones. A series of analogue models were conducted with adjacent different basal configuration and frictional properties to observe and gain a better understand...
