%X Analogue modelling contributes to the interpretation of lithosphere scale folds in Iberia as a result of largescaleconvergence during Oligocene-Miocene times between the Iberian and European Plates. Different tectonothermalevents affected the microplate since late Paleozoic and resulted in lateral strength variations of the Iberianlithosphere. An old and cold lithosphere, Variscan in age, can be found in the westernmost part of Iberia whereasa relative weak and hot Mesozoic lithosphere affected by episodes of rifting and basin inversion during Mesozoic-Tertiary times covers the area of the Iberian Chain. Our study aims at deciphering whether deformation andtopography evolution in Iberia are related to lateral strength variations and/or the inherited structural grain stemming from Variscan deformation. We also have studied the strength of the lithosphere to gain insights into the effects of rheological variations related to local thrusting or primary strength variations along the Iberian lithosphere.
