| Popis: | To investigate the formation of core complexes and low-angle normal faults, we devise thermo-mechanical simulations on a simplified wedge-like orogenic hinterland that has initial topography, Moho relief, and a preexisting mid-crustal shear zone that can accommodate shear at very low angles ( |
