Example of flat slab and broken fforeland: l d Si Sierra P Pampeanas (A (Andes) d ) • IIn South S th America A i along l strike variabilities in the structure of the Andes generates along strike variations in geometry of foreland basins
Example of broken foreland: the Rocky Mountains and the Laramide foreland system The depocenter of the upper Cretaceous (A) in eastern Wyoming is too far from the thrust belt to have been simply caused by loading and flexure. B) Eocene basin and ranges; uplift and subsidence are contemporaneous; C) thickness of the Green River Basin reflects tilting and bending of the crustal blocks.
