Seismic data, geometry, evolution, and shortening in the active Sulaiman
fold-and-thrust belt of Pakistan, southwest of the Himalayas.
Along the western margin of the Tibetan Plateau, in the vicinity of south-eastern Afghanistan and western Pakistan, the South Asian plate translates obliquely relative to the Eurasia plate, resulting in a complex
fold-and-thrust belt known as the Sulaiman Range.
Several landforms found in the area of the
fold-and-thrust belt of Precordillera, which appear to be associated to tectonic shortening, are in fact related to gravity tectonic processes (Twidale, 1971, 1976).

The Zagros
fold-and-thrust belt is the result of continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates [26,5,13].
The existence of an active compression on the frontal
fold-and-thrust belt (FTB) of the NW Borneo Wedge is a long debate.
A sampling of topics turns up the driving mechanism and three-dimensional circulation of plate tectonics, the Belt-Purcell Basic as the keystone of the Rocky Mountain
fold-and-thrust belt in the US and Canada, Silurian-Devonian orogenic events in the central Appalachians and the crystalline southern Appalachians, and defining the eastern boundary of the North Asian craton from structural and subsidence history studies of the Verkhoyansk
fold-and-thrust belt.
The Salt and Trans-Indus ranges are the surface appearance of the leading edge of the foreland
fold-and-thrust belt and surrounded along the frontal periphery by the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT), (Khan et al., 2012).
The Argentine Precordillera is a
fold-and-thrust belt, about 80 km wide, which involves Palaeozoic rocks and Tertiary sediments (Bracaccini, 1946-1950; Heim, 1952).

Their topics include the structural pattern of the Zagros
fold-and-thrust belt in the Dezful Embayment in southwestern Iran, the role of repeated gravitational collapse in Appalachian orogenesis, and styles of basement involvement in the Moine Thrust Belt in northwestern Scotland.
