A velocity description of constant-thickness fault-propagation folding

The expression of the geometric model of constant-thickness fault-propagation folding as a velocity description of deformation allows the derivation of rates of displacement, uplift and fault propagation. The velocity model of fault-propagation folding and sedimentation are combined in a finite-difference scheme, and two examples of growth strata associated with overturned fold forelimbs illustrate the application of the model.
