Abstract We explored the submarine portions of Enriquillo–Plantain Garden Fault zone ( EPGFZ ) and Septentrional–Oriente SOFZ along Northern Caribbean plate boundary using high‐resolution multibeam echo‐sounding shallow seismic reflection. The bathymetric data shed light on poorly documented or previously unknown fault zones running over 200 km between Haiti Jamaica 300 Dominican Republic Cuba ). primary plate‐boundary structures are a series strike‐slip segments associated with pressure...
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...
Abstract The geodynamic processes in the western Mediterranean are driven by both deep (mantle) such as slab‐rollback or delamination, oblique plate convergence and inherited structures. present‐day deformation of Alboran Sea particular Nekor basin area is linked to these coeval effects. seismically active an extensional formed a convergent setting at eastern part Rif Chain whose boundaries extend onshore offshore Morocco. We propose new structural model based on high‐resolution data...
Abstract The style of inversion inherited extensional basins in the Western Alps is investigated through thermo-mechanical modelling. Two-dimensional models consist a half-graben embedded relatively strong crust (basement) and filled with weak syn-rift sediments (cover). We investigate relative influence internal friction (µ) basin-bounding normal fault, tectonic burial (h) under an overlying nappe geothermal gradient. use viscoplastic model symmetrical shortening. fault implemented as...
Abstract. Progress in the understanding and dating of sedimentary record Alboran Basin allows us to propose a model its tectonic evolution since Pliocene. After period extension, underwent progressive inversion starting around 9–7.5 Ma. The Ridge is NE–SW transpressive structure accommodating shortening basin. We mapped southwestern termination, Pliocene rhombic exhibiting series folds thrusts. active Al-Idrissi Fault zone (AIF) Pleistocene strike-slip trending NNE–SSW. AIF crosses connects...
The active Eurasia–Nubia plate boundary runs across the Alboran Sea in Western Mediterranean Sea, where connection between Atlantic and water masses occurs. Earthquakes above magnitude Mw > 6 may favour occurrence of landslides within contouritic drifts Sea. A compilation recent multibeam data reveals for first time distribution slope failures along Xauen–Tofiño banks, southern Here, we provide a detailed mapping description morphology eight Holocene landslides, including volume estimations...
Automation of the throw backstripping method has proven to be an effective tool for determination evolution tectonic activity in wide fault zones. This been applied Al Hoceima Bay (southwesternmost Mediterranean, Alboran Sea) a time period covering last 280 kyr on 672 faults imaged 265 high-resolution seismic reflection profiles. area was affected by major earthquakes and corresponds transtensional basin deformed growth faults. The automated application allowed faster deciphering migration...
Abstract. Progresses in understanding the sedimentary dynamic of Western Alboran Basin lead us to propose a model evolution its tectonic inversion since Pliocene present-time. Extensive and strike-slip structures accommodate Miocene back-arc extension Basin, but undergo progressive Tortonian. Across Ridge becomes transpressive structure accommodating shortening. We map southwestern termination: rhombic exhibiting series folds thrusts. A younger structure, Al-Idrissi fault zone (AIF), is...
