A detailed structural analysis carried out on the volcanic products of the island of Pantelleria has shown that the large- scale setting is dominated by N-S trending normal faults and NW-SE right-lateral strike-slip faults, while mesostructural data show a more complex pattern which is characterized by 4 systems of discontinuity. A model is described that helps to understand the characters of the volcanism associated with a zone of continental collision as well as its distribution, which is not rigorously in accordance with a classical rifting process.-after Authors

Abstract
A detailed structural analysis carried out on the volcanic products of the island of Pantelleria has shown that the large- scale setting is dominated by N-S trending normal faults and NW-SE right-lateral strike-slip faults, while mesostructural data show a more complex pattern which is characterized by 4 systems of discontinuity. A model is described that helps to understand the characters of the volcanism associated with a zone of continental collision as well as its distribution, which is not rigorously in accordance with a classical rifting process.-after AuthorsFile in questo prodotto:
