Black Sea Basin Satellite Gravity Data And Major Tectonic Features: Tectonic Implications

摘要: Summary The Black Sea is a marginal sea represented by the Caucasus to east, Balkanides-Pontides south and southwest, Crimean Mountains north, young platforms (Moesian Scythian) west northwest. basin divided into two parts, Western Eastern, separated Mid ridge. origin of eastern Pontides orogenic belt still controversial due lack systematical geological, geophysical geochemical data. It widely accepted that was shaped northward subduction Neotethys or Paleotethys oceanic lithosphere during late Mesozoic opened as back-arc behind magmatic arc. In this study, tectonic elements are investigated using satellite gravity time formation occurred from Paleozoic Mesozoic, showing remnant Ocean. numerical studies give indication southward model for Mesozoic-Cenozoic compressional regime active in Eastern region..
