Structure of orogenic belts controlled by lithosphere age

The structure of a mountain belt reflects the manner in which plate convergence is accommodated in Earth's lithosphere. However, the extent to which orogenic structure is preconditioned by the thermo-mechanical conditions of the converging plates is debated. Here we re-process and analyse exist...
