Journal ArticleDOI

Nevio Zitellini,Eulàlia Gràcia,Luis Matias,Pedro Terrinha,MA Abreu,G. DeAlteriis,Jean Henriet,Juan José Dañobeitia,Douglas G. Masson,Thierry Mulder,R. Ramella,Luis Somoza,S. Diez +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a set of almost linear and sub-par dextral strike-slip faults, the SWIM1 Faults, that form a narrow band of deformation over a length of 600 km coincident with a small circle centred on the pole of rotation of Africa with respect to Eurasia, was mapped using a new swath bathymetry compilation available in the area offshore SW Portugal.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Betic orogen and the Iberian-African boundary in the Gulf of Cadiz: geological evolution (central North Atlantic)
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the southern Iberian margin was more complex than in most North Atlantic margins since it entailed several phases of rifting, convergence and strike-slip motions.

Seabed morphology and hydrocarbon seepage in the Gulf of Cádiz mud volcano area: Acoustic imagery, multibeam and ultra-high resolution seismic data
TL;DR: In this paper, the Guadalquivir Diapiric Ridge (GDR) and Cadiz Diapirs (CDR) are longitudinally shaped diapirs which trend NE-SW and consist of lower-middle Miocene plastic marly clays.
Journal ArticleDOI
