- In geology, tectonostratigraphy is stratigraphy that refers either to rock sequences in which large-scale layering is caused by the stacking of thrust sheets, or nappes, in areas of thrust tectonics or to the effects of tectonics on lithostratigraphy.
- The Assynt area lies within the Moine Thrust Belt and is a classic locality in the history of the development of theories about thrust tectonics.
- In areas of thrust tectonics, two main processes are recognized: thin-skinned deformation and thick-skinned deformation.
- The increased coupling leads to shortening of the crust of the South American Plate, causing active thrust tectonics and rapid uplift, forming the Sierras Pampeanas.
- The compressive forces produced by plate convergence result in pervasive deformation of the crust of the continental margin (thrust tectonics).
- The convergence is related to uplift and thrust tectonics along the Rif mountains.
- During the Quaternary, thrust tectonics gave way to extensional tectonics, with the development of a zone of normal faulting running along the crest of the mountain range.
- The structure of the western part of Albania is dominated by active thrust tectonics.
- To the north, the mountains of the Greater Caucasus are a result of active thrust tectonics, linking eastwards to the Apsheron sill.
- The mountain building that formed the Himalayas is an example of thrust tectonics and is dominated by thrust faulting.
- The easternmost part of Turkey lies on the western end of the Zagros fold and thrust belt, which is dominated by thrust tectonics.
- Thrust tectonics is associated with the shortening and thickening of the crust, or the lithosphere.
