Abstract
This study pretends to be a compendium of the most relevant aspects developed during the last decades on the geometry and kinematics of thrust-related folds. First of all, the main features of these structures, as well as the goals and the methodology employed to study them, are described. A modern classification of thrust-related folds is presented, and the geometry and kinematics of simple fault-bend folds, fault-propagation folds and detachment folds is described using the most common models. Finally, the techniques proposed to distinguish the different types of thrust-related folds are briefly explained.
