| 1/ Thrusts do not run along strike for ever. How do they terminate?
2/ Mountain belts result from the shortening of three types of weak continental regions. Identify them.
3/ What is an accretionary prism?
4/ How are the faults oriented in an accretionary prism with respect to the subducting plane?
5/ Thickening is limited. What is(are) the force(s) that oppose thickening.
6/ Draw an idealized cross section through a collisional mountain belt?
7/ When and How Tibet did form?
8/ Where do fold and thrust belts develop?
9/ Give an example of mountain belt developed on a transform plate boundary?
10/ What is the main parameter that control the dynamic (balance or force) in mountain belt related to subduction?

11/ How can we explain the development of normal faulting in subduction related mountain belt?
12/ What are to two main type of driving plate boundary condition in numerical modelling.
13/ What is physical (or analogue) modelling?
14/ What is the main implication in terms of mountain belt geometry of the presence of a weak lower crust during convergence and thickening?
15/ What are the three mechanism that accommodate the India-Asia convergence?
