STUDI PRELIMINARI SUL SOLLEVAMENTO DELLA TOSCANA MERIDIONALE DOPO IL PLIOCENE MEDIO

Abstract

A contorned map of the Middle Pliocene to Recent up­lift of Southern Tuscany is here presented. The equal uplift contour-lines have been drawn up for sectors where the oc­currence of the Middle Pliocene marine domain has been recognized or supposed. The map, additionally, shows the distribution of the surely submerged areas during the maxi­mum flooding of the Middle Pliocene. This study has point­ed out some main aspects, we have recognized: - the maximum uplift at M. Cetona; - the regional uplift following the NW-SE strike; - the location of the post-Pliocene normal faults and their throws.
