Plio–Quaternary Tectonic Activity in the Northern Nubian Belts: The Main Driving Forces by Enzo Mantovani, Marcello Viti, Daniele Babbucci, Caterina Tamburelli

“…Since then, the consumption of the residual low-buoyancy domains in the Mediterranean area was allowed by a major change in the plate mosaic and the related kinematics. The new tectonic setting started with the decoupling of a large portion of the Adriatic domain (Adria plate) from Nubia, through the formation of a long discontinuity crossing the Ionian domain (Victor Hensen–Medina fault) and the Hyblean–Pelagian domain (Sicily channel fault system). …”
