Three main stages can be differentiated in Iberia from the Upper Carboniferous to the
Present: the end of the Variscan orogeny (Late Carboniferous), the Permian–Early …

During the Tertiary, Iberia was strongly deformed. It was located between the large
EuroAsiatic and African plates, and was displaced east relative to the opening Atlantic …

During the Palaeogene Alpine compression three units were differentiated in the studied
area (south of the Ebro Basin): the Catalan Coastal Range, dominated by NE–SW major …

The passage from the Variscan cycle to the Early Alpine framework in the central part of the
Iberian Peninsula can be explained in terms of a transitional process involving four clearly …

Abstract During the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, Iberia experienced extensional and
transtensional stresses leading to a complex rifting time interval. Africa–America–Europe …

The Iberian microcontinent has been moving eastward since the Triassic due to the
progressive opening of the Atlantic Ocean. Since the middle Campanian the Mesozoic …

The stress evolution of the central-eastern Iberian Chain during the Tertiary compression
has been a matter of discussion during the last decades. In particular, there is not a …

Abstract The Permian-Triassic rifting represents the first of the two Mesozoic rifting stages
recorded in the Iberian Peninsula. Its first phases of development started during the Early …

The study of intraplate tectonics is crucial for understanding the deformation within plates, far
from active plate boundaries and associated stress transmission to the plate interiors. This …

Major changes occurred in Iberia during the Late Cretaceous. First, the cessation of the
previous rifting episode derived into generalized thermal subsidence in all basins, which in …
