A review on the driving mechanism of the Tyrrhenian–Apennines system: Implications for the present seismotectonic setting in the Central-Northern Apennines

摘要: Abstract The formation of the Tyrrhenian–Apennines system has been characterized by a complex distribution major tectonic events, such as opening basins, migration and distortion orogenic belts, retreat trench zones, stopping consuming processes starting new subductions. various aspects each event, timing, location, dimension deformation style, impose important constraints on genetic mechanism. In this work we argue that numerous implied all events together may be plausibly coherently explained effects convergence confining Africa, Arabia Eurasia plates. Crucial evidence for discriminating among geodynamic hypotheses so far advanced is provided structural/tectonic information recently CROP seismic sections in study area. proposed evolutionary history illustrated several paleogeographic maps, which provide more detailed reconstruction than previous attempts. Particular attention paid to describing setting developed since middle Pleistocene Apennines belt its connection with activity.
