Timepoint 3
Wedge is continuing to grow and an interesting fault orientations are emerging.

Figure 1. Pure Shear. Note relatively high amounts of shortening at toe of frontal accretion zone. Moving left, shortening decreases through the main divide and increases again at the base of the retrowedge.

Figure 2. Simple Shear. Highest concentration along lateral side.
|
|
Figure 3. Dilatation. As with pure shear above, shortening concentrated at the bases of frontal and lateral wedges. Through the frontal accretion zone, shortening decreases in the main divide and increases again at the base of the retrowedge.

Figure 4. Rotation. Clockwise rotation is positive. Clockwise rotation concentrated along lateral accretion zone with some counter-clockwise rotation located at the bottom of the frontal accretion zone.
