Abstract:The Variscan fold and thrust belt related with the South Portuguese Zone presents a SW forward propagation and the coeval development of synthetic folds and thrusts pervasive at all scales. Although several models have been proposed for their formation, the estimated strain pattern is more compatible with a push from the rear induced by the north-eastern subduction zone. Although there is a strong consistence concerning the kinematics of these Variscan structures, there is an important contrast of their geomet… Show more
