⛰️ Critical-Taper Coulomb Wedge: Accretionary Prism and Fold-and-Thrust Belt Sandbox - 2D Section and Stability Desk

2D companion: A cutaway sandbox pushes a Coulomb wedge from the back: frontal thrust sheets stack up while the wedge holds its critical taper set by internal friction, basal friction and pore-fluid pressure, until erosion balances the incoming sediment.
