Fig. 9: Three-dimensional view showing the surface and the deep structure of the African-Eurasian plate boundary in the western Mediterranean (point of view located at N290° and elevated 30°).

From: Evidence for a developing plate boundary in the western Mediterranean

Fig. 9

The deep structure is interpreted based on the depth-migrated multichannel seismic sections (vertical axis not to scale). The Plio-Holocene slip values associated with the Yusuf and Alboran Ridge fault systems are shown, as well as the regional plate convergence values (yellow arrows). Volcanic intrusions in the North African continental crust are shown as red polygons. Inset: location of the 3D views shown. AR: Alboran Ridge, ARFS: Alboran Ridge Fault System, EAB: East Alboran Basin, SAB: South Alboran Basin, YFS: Yusuf Fault System.
