Investigating the effect of sediment loading on the growth of a shale-cored anticline using finite element modelling: an example from the South Caspian Basin
Abstract Large-scale folding of sedimentary rock is generally considered to be a response to horizontal tectonic shortening. We test an alternative hypothesis where we propose that in basins with high sedimentation rates where folds are cored by mechanically weak mobile shale, fold growth can be amp...
