Supporting Information for Far-foreland basement uplift also influences the formation of fold-and-thrust belts

This document serves as the supplementary material for a manuscript intended for submission to a specialized journal. The study employs analog tectonic modeling to evaluate the potential structural influence of a far-foreland basement uplift situated hundreds of kilometers from the orogen. It contains
 One text describing how the scaling between our model and its prototype was calculated.
 Five figures including:
Figure S1. Raw photos corresponding to Figure 3 in the main text;
Figure S2. Raw photos showing two en echelon boundaries of the modeled broom-like deformation belt;
Figure S3. Nine cross-sections at the end of the modeling, with their locations indicated in a map-view photo;
Figure S4. Comparative experiment A1, in which the investigated far-foreland basement uplift has two vertical frontal edges;
Figure S5. Comparative experiment A2, in which the investigated far-foreland basement uplift has two gently dipping frontal edges;
 One table listing the properties of the used materials and their natural counterparts, as well as the resulting scale ratios.
 One animation (Movie S1) showing the full evolution of the presented model in the main text.
Additional details 1: In the experiment presented in the main text, a two-segment far-foreland basement uplift was set up, with one segment having a vertical frontal edge and the other a gently dipping frontal edge (dip angle: 30°). In this supplementary file, two additional comparative experiments A1 and A2, with different frontal geometries of the far-foreland basement uplift are presented. A brief comparison of these two experiments with the geological prototype is provided in the corresponding figure captions.
Additional details 2: The total shortening of the simulation experiment presented in the main text is 245 mm. For clarity and conciseness, Figure 3 in the main text only shows the situation up to a shortening of 216 mm. In this supplementary material, representative images of the subsequent evolution of the experimental model are additionally presented as Figures S2 and S3.
