Abstract
The evolution of fold-and-thrust systems developed at the expenses of pre-orogenic extensional basins is mainly achieved by reactivation, truncation of precursor structures, or by variable combination of these two distinct modes of propagation of compressional deformation during positive tectonic inversion. An overview of three selected examples from the Central-Northern Apennines of peninsular Italy towards the nearby Adriatic foreland domain illustrates that reactivation, truncation or combinations of these two processes of precursor fault deformation tend to be dominant proceeding from forelands towards orogenic interiors, suggesting a correlation between modes of deformation during inversion and their spatial distribution across orogenic belts.
Key words: Tectonic inversion / Orogenic belts / Precursor extensional basins / Fault truncation / Reactivation / Structural inheritance
