Formation of orogenic wedges and crustal shear zones by thermal softening, associated topographic evolution and application to natural orogens

The model of an orogenic wedge has been applied to explain the tectonic evolution of many orogens worldwide. Orogenic wedges are characterized by (1) a first-order shear zone which underthrusts the mantle lithosphere and lower crust beneath the adjacent mantle lithosphere and (2) a sequence of secon...
