Fault-propagation Folding

Fault-Propagation Folding is a tectonic structural model in which a thrust fault propagates upward into undeformed strata, forming a fold at the fault tip, distinguishing it from other fault-related folding mechanisms by the direct linkage between fault extension and fold development.
