Abstract
The geometry of kink planes, affecting an allochthon over a tectonic r amp, depends on the number and dip of the different planes of the ramp . In some cases, the ramp geometry produces the fusion of the kink pla nes. Theoretically, the resulting differential shear can be compensate d by several processes. In this paper, we explain and examine the proc ess of local accommodation marked with deep-rooted back thrust in the plane-fusion area.
