The Effects of Fault Geometry and Kinematic Parameters on 3D Fold Morphology: Insights From 3D Geometric Models and Comparison With the Dushanzi Anticline, China

Precise knowledge of the geometry of faults and folds at depth is important for tectonics, economic geology, and seismic hazards. However, the geometry and kinematics of faults and the aspects controlling the coevolution of folds are difficult to constrain without 3D seismic data. We perform a series of 3D forward geometric simulations using a pseudo‐3D trishear fault‐propagation folding algorithm to investigate the effects of six fault geometry...
