Parallel Folding

Parallel Folding is a kinematic model of deformation in structural geology where layered rock units fold such that the thickness perpendicular to the bedding remains constant, distinguishing it from other folding mechanisms by preserving layer-parallel shortening without internal strain variation across the fold limbs.
