Incompetent bed

Incompetent bed

A bed that, in a particular case of folding, has yielded to the lateral pressure by plastic adjustment and flow. This may result in the bedding being thrown into complex structures or in the development of more regular internal structures, particularly drag folds and fracture cleavage. The bed tends to thicken toward the hinges, and to thin in the limbs, of the folds. See also: competent bed.
