Geometric relationships between tectonic boundaries and maximum metamorphic temperature in cross section view. Colored lines are schematic isotherms, black lines are tectonic boundaries: a initial undisturbed thermal structure, b thrusting outlasts metamorphism; c metamorphism predates thrusting and folding; d partial thermal reequilibration after the situation in (c); e post-tectonic metamorphism
