Abstract
The geodynamics of the central Mediterranean is
characterized by the interaction between the European plate
and the African’s. In this setting Sicily is a sector of the
Appenine-Maghrebide accretionary prism, which is located
between two areas affected by extensional tectonics (Sicily
Channel to the south and the Thyrrenian back arc basin to the
north).
