Multichannel seismic reflection images across the transition between east Alborán and Algero‐Balearic basins show how crustal thickness decreases from about 5 s two‐way traveltime (TWTT, ∼15 km thick) in west (east basin) to ∼2 TWTT typical of oceanic crust (∼6 (Algero‐Balearic basin). We have differentiated three different domains this transition, mainly on basis signature. Boundaries are transitional lack evidence for major faults. Tilted blocks related extension very scarce all sampled...
A close relationship of the kinematics and timing between low‐angle extensional faulting upright folding is established for Miocene detachment systems in hinterland Betics southeastern Spain. Folding accompanied tectonic denudation developing elongated domes with fold axes both parallel perpendicular to direction extension. The geometry, kinematics, evolution two major sequentially developed fault have been characterized several E‐W mountain ranges central on basis new cartographic...
The Gibraltar arc, which closes the westernmost part of Mediterranean basin, is a Miocene A‐type subduction arc formed by continental collision various pre‐Miocene terranes in major zone between Iberian and African cratons. hanging‐wall block, known as Alborán domain, has undergone more than 300 km migration from easterly position, where it was continuation Alpine Cretaceous‐Paleogene orogen. Contemporaneous with thin‐skinned thrusting footwall, domain underwent two episodes nearly...
New bathymetric and magnetic anomaly data from the Phoenix Ridge, Antarctica, show that extinction of all three remaining segments occurred at time chron C2A (3.3 ± 0.2 Ma), synchronous with a ridge-trench collision south Hero Fracture Zone.This implies ultimate cause was change in plate boundary forces occasioned by this collision.Spreading rates slowed abruptly C4 (7.8 0.3 probably as result West Scotia which would have led to an increase slip rate transpressional stress across Shackleton...
To constrain the latest evolutionary stages and mechanisms of exhumation emplacement subcontinental peridotites in westernmost Mediterranean, we present here a detailed structural study transition from granular spinel peridotite to plagioclase tectonite western Ronda Peridotite (Betic Cordillera, southern Spain). We show that foliation represents an axial surface particularly well developed reverse limb downward facing moderately plunging inclined synform at base massif. The fold limbs are...
Thermobarometry using mica‐chlorite local equilibria and structural analysis of three tectonic units the Alpujarride complex in southeastern Betics indicate that rocks underwent low‐pressure/low‐temperature metamorphism are found below higher‐grade blueschist facies rocks. Moreover, high‐pressure/low‐temperature (HP/LT) contrasting (P‐T) evolutions. The structurally highest unit was exhumed a typical postorogenic high‐temperature geothermal context andalusite stability field, while...
Quaternary activity of folds and faults can be assessed by the analysis drainage network evaluation geomorphic indexes. These analyses are especially productive in semiarid areas where tectonic rates low-to-moderate dating is limited. In this work, we have revisited most relevant GIS-based methodologies used to assess using morphometric discuss implications two key central eastern Betic Cordillera (Sierra Nevada Sierra Alhamilla regions). area, use indexes mountain range neighboring Granada...
Terra Nova, 24, 505–512, 2012 Abstract The subducted North Maghrebian passive margin was exhumed in the Tortonian (11–7 Ma) by an upper‐crustal brittle‐ductile extensional detachment and brittle low‐angle normal faults a continental subduction transform setting. Temsamane eastern Rif is defined ductile shear zone approximately 100‐m thick with ramp geometry that cuts down into fold‐nappe stack. shows south‐westward kinematics separates lower‐greenschist (≈400 °C) metapelites of units below...
Large strike-slip faults in the eastern Betics are interpreted to have developed a transcurrent setting response 4–6 mm/yr of Africa-Iberia NW-SE convergence. However, here we show that some these transfer accommodating heterogeneous late Miocene extension. The North Cabrera dextral fault and other E-W NE-SW Sorbas basin were produced under SW-NE These together with related normal form main boundaries two sedimentary depocenters active between Serravallian Tortonian. older depocenter...
Abstract The HP/LT rocks of the Nevado-Filabride complex (eastern Betic Cordillera) were exhumed during Serravallian but knowledge their retrograde P-T evolution remains fragmentary and not established for all its tectonic units. present paper places detailed constraints on two deeper units complex, namely Ragua Calar Alto in order to constrain exhumation role km-thick Dos Picos shear zone separating them.
