Abstract The M essinian S alinity C risis is well known to have resulted from a significant drop of the editerranean sea level. Considering both onshore and offshore observations, subsequent reflooding generally thought been very sudden. We present here seismic evidence G ulf L ions re‐visited data I taly T urkey that lead new concept two‐step B asin after risis. refilling was first moderate relatively slow accompanied by transgressive ravinement, later on rapid, preserving subaerial E...
Abstract Twelve sedimentary mounds are identified on the upper continental rise of Pacific Margin Antarctic Peninsula. All these produced by a varying degree interaction along-slope bottom water flow with down-slope turbidity currents. These provide complete range intermediates between two end members: sediment drift and channel levee. Surface sediments 7 suggest that mechanisms for supply transport include entrainment material from currents within ambient currents, pelagic settling sea...
Abstract The Alboran Sea constitutes a Neogene–Quaternary basin of the Betic–Rif Cordillera, which has been deformed since Late Miocene during collision between Eurasian and African plates in westernmost Mediterranean. NNE – SSW sinistral WNW ESE dextral conjugate fault sets forming 75° angle surround rigid basement spur plate, are origin most shallow seismicity central Sea. Northward, faults decrease their transcurrent slip, becoming normal close to tip point, while NNW SSE sparse ENE WSW...
About six million years ago, the Mediterranean Sea underwent a period of isolation from ocean and widespread salt deposition known as Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), allegedly leading to kilometer-scale level drawdown by evaporation. One competing scenarios proposed for termination this environmental crisis 5.3 ago consists megaflooding event refilling through Strait Gibraltar: Zanclean flood. The main evidence supporting hypothesis is nearly 390 km long several hundred meters deep erosion...
Abstract The Eurasian‐African NW‐SE oblique plate convergence produces shortening and orthogonal extension in the Alboran Sea Basin (westernmost Mediterranean), located between Betic Rif Cordilleras. A NNE‐SSW broadband of deformation seismicity affects central part. After 1993–1994 2004 seismic series, an earthquake sequence struck mainly its southern sector 2016–2017 (main event M w = 6.3, 25 January 2016). near‐surface is investigated using profiles, multibeam bathymetry, gravity data....
Abstract Since the Miocene, thinned continental crust below Alboran Sea and its overlying sedimentary cover have been undergoing deformation caused by both convergence of Eurasia Africa deep processes related to Tethyan slab retreat. Part this is recorded at Xauen Tofiño banks in southern Sea. Using swath bathymetry multichannel seismic reflection data, we identified different stages styles deformation. The South Basin made up Early Miocene Pliocene layers that correlate with West depocenter...
High-resolution morpho-bathymetric data at 1:200,000 scale obtained during the FAIVI cruise (2011) and resulting geomorphologic map of Terceira island offshore area (central Azores, Portugal) are presented for first time. The uneven morphology around is primarily related to volcanic features, such as linear cone-shaped eruptive centres lava flows. Such features mostly concentrated on ridges aligned along preferential axes, suggesting a strong interaction between tectonics processes....
