This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens
worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles …

The same sense movement on any given fault plane occurs much more frequently
compared to the cases when the sense reverses. Therefore, positive or negative structural …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

Abstract The Caledonian and Variscan orogens in northern Europe and the Alpine-age
Apennine range in Italy are classic examples of thrust belts that were developed at the …

Normal faults grow either by radial propagation and segment linkage or by accruing
displacement without a proportional increase in fault length. To test these competing models …

In this study, we report how criteria inferred from structural and kinematic analysis of shear
zone fabrics can be instrumental in deciphering events of positive or negative inversion …

The reconstruction of the hydrocarbon migration and entrapment history is fundamental for
reducing risks and identifying traps and migration pathways during oil exploration and …

The analysis of a set of public seismic reflection profiles allows to unravel the evolution of a
segment of the Adria Plate in the Salento offshore, ie, the Apulian swell (southeastern Italy) …

ABSTRACT The Umbria-Marche Apennine range, part of the Northern Apennines of Italy, is
a classic example of a fold-and-thrust belt developed at the expense of a formerly rifted …

The along-strike variation of fault-related inversion folds within curved thrust systems is
documented by presenting cases from the Central-Northern Apennines of Italy. Fold …
