2.1.1 Variation in fold profile


This sequence shows the affect of varying the fold profile geometry for a 200 m thick layer.

All block diagrams are viewed from SW.

This model was generated using a similar fold style, so there is some hinge thickening relative to the limbs.

These folds are actually formed as a result of conjugate kink sets, and results in the thickening of the limbs relative to the hinges.

This fold has uniform limb and hinge thickness, but still shows anomaly peaks at the hinges.
