That's really inspiring to me. I usually think that the "relay zone" represents the drag fold component of a continuous fault plane. This video suggests another possibility!
The seismic profiles with vertical scale expansion, maybe not easily be explained. I think some of them are extensitional kink zones. Maybe some other types of stress fields should also exist in some local complex areas and thus bulklinglike folds or flower like structures.
Thanks for the comment. The key when interpreting structures on seismic profiles is to get vertical and horizontal scales to be (approximately if in time) equal... it's easy to miss-place faults through a series of stratal reflectors if interpreted with high vertical exaggeration... (a really common issue).... and almost everything can look like buckle folding/inversion structures without care.
Thank you Rob this was very useful for my seismic interpretation coursework :)

@@robbutler2095 Thanks a lot! That means the bulking features are mostly pseudo-pictures, not true.
