Thin-skinned tectonics is deformation of a sedimentary cover detached from its basement along a basal décollement: the cover folds and thrusts while the basement beneath stays undeformed. Thick-skinned tectonics is deformation in which the basement is involved, cover and basement shortening together on faults that cut down into the basement.
