Vector "nest" restoring displacements of northern Andean blocks along faults during Andean orogenesis. Heavy dots denote blocks, tie lines restore net azimuth and magnitude of fault displacements, moving back in time. Mérida Andes and Eastern Cordillera deformation is shown partitioned into strike-orthogonal and strike-parallel components.
