Figure 8. Strain maps computed from the structural restoration model. (A) The dilation and (B) the distortions (first and second invariants of the strain tensor, respectively). The strain is cumulative for all stages (1–6) of restoration on the top surface of unit F. Strain patterns are elongated along a northwest–southeast-trending axis, which is normal to the northeast–southwest-trending maximum compressional stress orientation associated with the Arabia–Eurasia collision (Figure 1).
