2.1.1 Variation in fold profile

This sequence shows the affect of varying the fold profile geometry for a 200 m thick layer.

All block diagrams are viewed from SW.

Sinusoidal Folds	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE
	This model was generated using a similar fold style, so there is some hinge thickening relative to the limbs.

Asymmetric Folds	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE
	The west limbs of this fold are structurally thickened.
Box Folds	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE
	These folds are actually formed as a result of conjugate kink sets, and results in the thickening of the limbs relative to the hinges.

Buckle Fold	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE	LOAD JPEG IMAGE
	This fold has uniform limb and hinge thickness, but still shows anomaly peaks at the hinges.
