An alternative experimental configuration to generate wrench zone above a viscous layer
Analogue modelling of wrench tectonics typically utilizes a rigid basement with a velocity discontinuity under a brittle or brittle-viscous cover, such as in Riedel experiments, which confines fault localization in the overlaying model. However, such a set-up is hardly compatible with modeling brittle-ductile systems such as the upper and lower crust or a brittle sedimentary cover overlying a viscous evaporitic layer. To achieve a more realistic experimental approach, Bruno Vendeville designed an alternative experimental set-up decoupling the basement from the brittle overburden with a viscous layer in which the basement is not involved. In this configuration, strike-slip movement is driven laterally rather than from the base up, facilitated by “weak zones” that preferentially localize the deformation during shortening and enable sliding between compartments. This original approach provides greater flexibility for modeling complex strike-slip settings, allowing for more freedom for strike-slip structures to form and evolve through time.
Although the experiments described in this work were conducted in the late 1990s, the co-authors have chosen to revisit and adapt this earlier work for this Special Issue to underscore Bruno's influence on another aspect of salt tectonics and his pioneering foresight in the field of analogue modelling.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Structural Geology publishes process-oriented investigations about structural geology using appropriate combinations of analog and digital field data, seismic reflection data, satellite-derived data, geometric analysis, kinematic analysis, laboratory experiments, computer visualizations, and analogue or numerical modelling on all scales. Contributions are encouraged to draw perspectives from rheology, rock mechanics, geophysics,metamorphism, sedimentology, petroleum geology, economic geology, geodynamics, planetary geology, tectonics and neotectonics to provide a more powerful understanding of deformation processes and systems. Given the visual nature of the discipline, supplementary materials that portray the data and analysis in 3-D or quasi 3-D manners, including the use of videos, and/or graphical abstracts can significantly strengthen the impact of contributions.
