Plio-Quaternary margin growth patterns in a complex tectonic setting: Northeastern Alboran Sea

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

7 pages, 8 figures Four main seismic sequences of Plio-Quaternary age identified in the northeastern Alboran Sea record the main phases of margin and basin development. The geometry and thickness of these sequences reveal that the Motril and Almeria basins contain the main sediment depocenters. Sea level fluctuations and sediment input were probably the most significant factors controlling growth patterns, but the presence of structural barriers and the active tectonism influenced sediment traps and downslope gravity processes. © 1992 Springer-Verlag New York Inc
