About this document
Antiformal Stack Formation in Sandbox Models by Edwin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study that used sandbox modeling to investigate the formation of antiformal stacks through progressive thrusting. The experiments varied parameters like obstacle geometry, sand layer thickness, and basal friction. The results showed that antiformal stacks form when an obstacle blocks forward thrust propagation, causing deformation to transfer back to the hinterland and older thrusts to eventually override younger ones. Continued shortening leads to thrust merging and the developmen
