   Fold and Thrust Belts
   The peripheral zones, particularly along the southern and northern boundaries, are characterized by complex fold and thrust belts. The geometry of these compressive structures is traditionally analyzed using parameters such as the Bifurcation Angle Index ($\beta$). While standard models suggest $\beta$ should correlate inversely with shortening magnitude, data collected from the Kunlun Mountains region often demonstrate a spontaneous, biennial phase inversion of $\b…
