===Thrust (contractional) tectonics=== {{Main article|Thrust tectonics}} Thrust tectonics is associated with the shortening and thickening of the crust, or the lithosphere. This type of tectonics is found at zones of [[continental collision]], at restraining bends in strike-slip faults, and at the oceanward part of passive margin sequences where a detachment layer is present.<ref name="Butler_&_Bond_2020">{{Cite book |last=Butler |first=R. |title=Principles of Geologic Analysis |last2=Bond |first2=C. |publisher=Elsevier |year=2020 |isbn=9780444641359 |editor-last=Scarselli |editor-first=N. |edition=2 |series=Regional Geology and Tectonics |volume=1 |pages=149β167 |chapter=Chapter 9 β Thrust systems and contractional tectonics |doi=10.1016/B978-0-444-64134-2.00008-0 |editor-last2=Adam |editor-first2=J. |editor-last3=Chiarella |editor-first3=D.}}</ref>
