The Maria fold and thrust belt (MFTB) is a portion of the North American Cordillera orogen in which geological structures accommodate roughly north–south to northwest-southeast vergent Mesozoic age crustal shortening. This lies in contrast to the remainder of the Cordillera, in which shortening is predominantly east–west. Structures associated with the Maria Fold and Thrust Belt are exposed in a series of mountain ranges in southeastern California and western Arizona. Many of the deep structures of the MFTB have been exposed due to east–west to northeast-southwest Cenozoic age extension and unroofing.

  • El cinturó de plecs i falles de Maria (MFTB per les seves inicials en anglès) és una part de l'orogen de la Serralada Nord-americana, les estructures geològiques del qual acomoden més o menys en l'eix nord–sud, amb vergència nord-oest - sud-est, un escurçament de l'escorça d'edat Mesozoica. En contrast amb la resta de la Serralada, en que l'escurçament és predominantment est–oest. Les seves estructures associades es troben exposades en una sèrie de serralades al sud-est de Califòrnia i a l'Arizona occidental. Moltes de les estructures profundes del MFTB han estat exposades a causa de l'extensió est–oest a nord-est-sud-oest durant el Cenozoic extensió d'edat i l'exhumació per l'erosió. (ca)
