Abstract
Abstract Summarizes the tectonic history of the ranges bordering the western Mediterranean. Their formation was due primarily to tangential pressures from the southeast, as a result of which two major upwarps separated by a generally north-south trans-Mediterranean syncline were produced. Continued pressure from the southeast caused folding, overthrusting, rotation of crustal blocks, and other dislocations, whose development was controlled by the fracturing of the upwarps, accompanied by the downdropping of the axial zone, and the relative position of rigid and plastic masses.
