Location and geometry of unit 2. (a) Bathymetric map of the eastern Sicily Channel and western Ionian Basin, and location of analysed seismic reflection profiles. Location of DSDP Site 37413 is denoted. 1: Mt Etna; 2: Catania Plain; 3: Hyblean Plateau; 4: Malta Plateau; 5: Calabrian accretionary wedge; 6: Sicilian Fold and Thrust Belt. (b) Isopach map of unit 2 based on 2.3/2.6 km s−1 PSDM seismic velocities (contour interval of 150/172 m). 7: Malta Escarpment; 8: Noto Canyon; 9: Alfeo Seamount; 10: Depocentre of unit 2. Inset: Location of (a) in the Mediterranean Sea. 11: Straits of Gibraltar; 12: Alborán Sea. Maps generated with ArcMap 10.2 (http://www.esri.com/arcgis/).
