We present a new approach to the structural and tectonic analysis of the Tyrrhenian – Apennine system since the early Burdigalian, based on a non-rigid plate kinematics approach. This approach allows to determine finite rotations for the tectonic blocks involved in the evolution of the Apennine chain, though in a framework that allows finite strain of the tectonic elements during their rotation. The method has allowed to give a quantitative rigorous explanation of the transverse structures of the mountain belt.

Abstract
We present a new approach to the structural and tectonic analysis of the Tyrrhenian – Apennine system since the early Burdigalian, based on a non-rigid plate kinematics approach. This approach allows to determine finite rotations for the tectonic blocks involved in the evolution of the Apennine chain, though in a framework that allows finite strain of the tectonic elements during their rotation. The method has allowed to give a quantitative rigorous explanation of the transverse structures of the mountain belt.File in questo prodotto:
