KINKING RELATED TO FAULTING

Box folds or conjugate kink-bands may be associated with limb faults if such structures are produced over a surface of DECOLLEMENT in a thrusted sheet since RAMP AND FLAT geometry is common in such areas. Note that kink planes are now getting disposed in suc a manner that the acute and not obtuse angle between them faces the direction of maximum shortening in the layers kinked.
