| 1/ Thrusts terminate at a ramp.
2/ Continental margins, intracontinental basins, transform boundaries.
3/ A pile of sediment scrapped off a subducted oceanic lithosphere.
4/ The faults in a accretionary prism are synthetic to the Benioff plane: the faults are roughly parallel to the Benioff plane.
5/ The gravitational force may oppose thickening.
6/ Your cross-section show look like those in slide 9.
7/ ...50 Ma ago as the result of India being underthrusted underneath asia.
8/ In between the hinterland and the foredeep.
9/ The Pyrenees.
10/ The angle of the Benioff plane.

11/ Excess in gravitational potential energy is responsible for the development of normal faults in mountain belts.
12/ Basal traction related of the subduction of the sub-continental lithopheric mantle, or side push.
13/ Modelling involving scaled models built with material whose properties are analogue of the properties of rocks.
14/ Weak lower crust implies broader orogen.
15/ Lithopheric folding, thickening, escape tectonics along strike-slip faults.
