Residual topography, lithospheric structure and sunken slabs in the central Mediterranean
Z Gvirtzman, A Nur - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2001 - Elsevier
The central Mediterranean comprises subduction, collision, and backarc extension, all in a
relatively small area. In this paper, we analyze the topography of this region, examining the …
