Among the most well-known experiments in structural geology are those involving orogenic wedges, which are zones in which mountains are built along convergent tectonic plate boundaries.[34] In the analog versions of these experiments, horizontal layers of sand are pulled along a lower surface into a back stop, which results in realistic-looking patterns of faulting and the growth of a critically tapered (all angles remain the same) orogenic wedge.[35] Numerical models work in the same way as these analog models, though they are often more sophisticated and can include patterns of erosion and uplift in the mountain belt.[36] This helps to show the relationship between erosion and the shape of a mountain range.

Till de mest välkända experimenten inom strukturgeologin hör de med orogena kilar, som är de zoner där bergskedjor bildas längs konvergenta tektoniska plattgränser.[29] I den analoga versionen av sådana experiment orogena kilar fungerar på samma sätt, men är mer sofistikerade och kan ta hänsyn till erosionsmönster och höjningar i bergskedjan.[31] Dessa modeller bidrar till förståelse om förhållandet mellan erosion och formen hos en bergskedja.
