Fig. 17

Graph of the ratio sedimentation rate to uplift rate in relation to the dip of the ramp fault. The graph predicts the growth-strata geometry on limb onlaps and limb offlaps. The dashed line represents the steeply-dipping forelimb and the full line represents the gently-dipping back limb of the fault-propagation fold. In the case of the Jebel Sehib anticline, the plot of estimated sedimentation-to-shortening ratio is located in the shaded area, which confirms the mixed growth-strata geometry which was observed (for explanation, see text)
