The geometry and evolution of the deeply buried structural wedge in the kuqa fold-and-thrust belt: insights from numerical simulation

Numerical simulation is used to investigate the influence of thickness variation on the evolution of buried structural wedges, representing structures formed between two detachments. Simulations are based on the Kuqa fold-and-thrust belt, characterized by a tapered sedimentary sequence. Two sets of...
