[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

Lithospheric folding and sedimentary basin evolution: a review and analysis of formation mechanisms
S Cloetingh, E Burov - Basin Research, 2011 - earthdoc.org
Lithospheric folding is an important mode of basin formation in compressional intraplate
settings. Basins formed by lithospheric folding are characterized by distinct features in …

Origin and consequences of western Mediterranean subduction, rollback, and slab segmentation
The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

Placing limits to shortening evolution in the Pyrenees: Role of margin architecture and implications for the Iberia/Europe convergence
Estimating shortening in collision belts is critical to reconstruct past plate motions. Balanced
cross‐section techniques are efficient in external domains but lack resolution in the …

Thermal stress-induced microcracking in building granite
DM Freire-Lista, R Fort, MJ Varas-Muriel - Engineering geology, 2016 - Elsevier
Microcracking induced by wide fluctuations in temperature affects granite quality and
durability, making the stone more vulnerable to decay. Determining the extent of that effect is …

Tectonic classification of Cenozoic Iberian foreland basins
The Iberian microcontinent stands out because of its intense Alpine intraplate deformation.
This is reflected in a large number of Cenozoic basins of very different sizes. Most of the …

Large-scale distributed deformation controlled topography along the western Africa–Eurasia limit: Tectonic constraints
G De Vicente, R Vegas - Tectonophysics, 2009 - Elsevier
In the interior of the Iberian Peninsula, the main geomorphic features, mountain ranges and
basins, seems to be arranged in several directions whose origin can be related to the N–S …

Oblique strain partitioning and transpression on an inverted rift: The Castilian Branch of the Iberian Chain
The Iberian Chain is a wide intraplate deformation zone formed by the tectonic inversion

The Spanish‐Portuguese Central System: An example of intense intraplate deformation and strain partitioning
The intraplate deformation of Iberia during the Cenozoic produced a series of ranges and
deformation belts with a wide variety of structural trends. The Spanish‐Portuguese Central …
