Detachment Horizons

Detachment Horizons is a structural geological concept referring to a weak, planar zone within the Earth's crust that serves as a basal detachment surface, allowing overlying rock masses to deform independently from underlying units through large-scale horizontal displacement in thrust tectonic settings.
