Structural Significance of the Mid-level Décollement Within the Western Sichuan Fold-And-Thrust Belt (WSFTB), Insights From Sandbox Modeling
The WSFTB is located outboard of the eastern Tibetan Plateau, western China. It has received great attention due to high earthquake risks and rich resources of oil and gas. For both issues, the detailed structural configuration and deformation mechanism behind it are of great importance, but remain...
