“…Li et al, 2014), Fodongmiao-Hongyazi anticline (Hetzel et al, 2019;Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration, 1993;H. Yang et al, 2020), Yumu Shan (Hu et al, 2017(Hu et al, , 2022Hu, Ji, et al, 2021), Yonggu anticline (Zhong et al, 2020), and Yongchangnanshan (Nanying) anticline (Hu et al, 2015;Lei et al, 2020), are distinct from one another and show different structural characteristics. For example, the Yumen Anticline is presently a mixture of thin-skinned and thick-skinned deformation, forming a duplex (this study), the Fodongmiao-Hongyazi anticline has transformed from a thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt to a thick-skinned structure (H. Yang et al, 2020), and the Yonggu and Yongchannanshan anticlines, though adjacent, have significantly different décollement depths and shortening rates (Hu et al, 2015;Lei et al, 2020;Zhong et al, 2020).…”
