Tectonic inheritance controls nappe detachment, transport and stacking in the Helvetic nappe system, Switzerland: insights from thermomechanical simulations
<p>Tectonic nappes have been investigated for more than a hundred years. Although geological studies often refer to a “nappe theory”, the physical mechanisms of nappe formation are still disputed. We apply two-dimensional numerical simulations of shortening of a passive margin to investigate t...
