Incremental strain analysis is not limited to analyzing low-relief salt structures like those to used in the above example. It can be applied to any structural style involving deformation of the top seal, including traps in foreland fold-and-thrust belts, Gulf Coast [[growth fault]]s, and North Sea normal faults. Deformation may involve shortening or extension.
