Depending on the polarity of the subduction system controlling the evolution of an orogenic wedge, we distinguish between pro-wedge (fore-arc, foreland) and retrowedge (retro-arc, hinterland) forelands. Flexural foreland basins and/or intraplate compressional structures can develop in retro-wedge domains of Andean-type and in pro-and retro-wedge domains of Himalayan-type orogens.
