Balanced Section Validation

Balanced Section Validation is a methodological procedure in structural geology that verifies the geometric and mass consistency of a proposed cross-section by ensuring that the restored stratigraphic layers maintain original bed lengths and areas across deformation, thereby confirming the kinematic feasibility and structural balance of the section.
