Meanwhile, the gouge (26 % calcite, 38% serpentine and 36% smectite) is also dominated by tension cracks microscopically. In contrast to the widespread extensional deformation, geological evidence imply that this fault had experienced reverse slip in the Quaternary, as shown by thrusting of serpentine onto alluvium and the consistency of R foliations with reverse shear. We interpret it as the SW continuation of the East Anatolia fault (EAF) that was formerly characterized by transpressional deformation, and reactivated transtensionally due to the change of fault strike during this earthquake.

Along basin margins, salt typically flows basinward due to regional tilting of the margin, and can be influenced by the geometry of the surface that it flows over (e.g. fault scarps on the base-salt surface). This interaction can lead to coupling of sub- and supra-salt structures, with the orientation and distribution of base-salt structures reflected in the structure of the overburden. However, the controls on the degree of strain coupling during salt-detached translation are relatively poorly understood, in particular the roles played by the thickness and mechanical heterogeneity of the salt unit. This is, in part, caused by difficultly in deconvolving the relative contribution of variables such as salt thickness, the magnitude of base-salt relief, sediment supply, and regional tectonic regime. In addition, seismic reflection data provide only the present structure of the basin, from which its evolution must be inferred.</p><p>To evaluate the influence of salt thickness and heterogeneity on sub-to supra-salt strain coupling during salt-detached translation in the extensional domain, we present a series of physical analogue models with controlled boundary conditions. We use a model apparatus with a simple geometry comprising three oblique basal steps, and vary the thickness and composition of the salt analogue in each experiment to evaluate the proposed variables. X-ray tomography allows us to image the internal structure during model evolution and therefore gain a 4D view of its structural development. Results show that supra-salt structures associated with thicker and more homogeneous salt units are characterised by symmetric extensional structures and large diapirs, with significant vertical and lateral displacements and only weak coupling to the underlying base-salt relief. Conversely, thinner and more heterogeneous salt units are characterised by asymmetric extensional structures and primary welds, with restricted vertical displacement, such that the resultant overburden structure is strongly coupled to the geometry of the base-salt surface.

This study uses laboratory-scale viscous models to investigate the influence of lateral décollement strength variations on the spatio-temporal evolution of strain patterns in FTBs. These experiments, simulating crustal-scale deformation, show notable changes in the mode of tectonic wedge growth, including the topographic evolution and ductile strain pattern distribution. For example, the deformation front propagates faster over weakly coupled décollement than the laterally adjacent strongly coupled segment, leading to along-strike variations of the topographic slope and curved outline of the deformation front. Constrictional strain, characteristic of regions of weak coupling, is transient and replaced by flattening strain beyond ∼20 % bulk shortening. The latter prevails in regions over strong décollement, whereas complex strain histories mark the transition zone between weak and strong décollements. Based on our modelling results, we propose that variations in décollement strength may cause the segmentation of deformation processes and the development of transverse faults in FTBs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50035,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Geology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141096151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This belt is one of the youngest continental collision zones hosting one of the largest petroleum provinces in the world so that giant oil fields are found in its anticlines. We selected the Asmari Anticline due to the variability of drainage basins and stream networks across the fold's forelimb and backlimb. The basin area (Ba), topographic slope (TS), hypsometric integral (HI), basin shape (Bs), drainage basin orientation (DBO), crescentness index (CI), sinuosity of the main drainage (Smd), spacing ratio (R), and fault density (FD) for 68 drainage basins were calculated. Also, the morphometric characteristics of drainage networks including drainage density (Dd), drainage density of 1st-order streams (Dd1), and drainage frequency (Fs) were analyzed for each limb. Results show that southwestern limb (forelimb) is characterized by high topographic and dip slope, large and relatively circular basins, with high values of CI, Smd and DBO, implying pronounced lateral and headward erosion. Conversely, the smaller and elongated basins, with higher values of hypsometric integral and spacing ratio in the northeastern limb, show lower erosion of backlimb. Higher Dd, Dd1, and Fs values in the southwestern limb (9.54, 6.39, and 39.92 respectively) than the northeastern limb (8.96, 5.69, and 28.33 respectively), suggest higher rates of forelimb erosion, especially where dendritic drainage pattern is developed.

Basement topography controls on the thrust dynamics remains the least well understood parameter in fold-thrust belts, and more case studies are needed to underpin further understanding. We present field evidence from the well-exposed Caledonian Thrust Front in Lapland, showing the influence of inherited, orogen-perpendicular basement structures on the subsequent structural evolution of the Caledonian sole thrust and its underlying sedimentary rocks. Inherited orogen-perpendicular basement structures created open corrugations in the foreland that directed thrust allochthons and controlled the geometry and strain state of the sole thrust and associated rocks. We propose that even relatively small-scale structures can have a significant control on the geometry and strain state of an evolving thrust system, and that variations in thrust geometries are not simply explained by inversion or coincidental heterogeneous internal thickening (imbrication) of thrust-related units.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50035,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Geology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191814124001081/pdfft?md5=7a052892cb0268376fe2d5c852aba5db&pid=1-s2.0-S0191814124001081-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141056598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
