The interplay between magmatism and tectonics is pivotal for deciphering the tectonic and geodynamic evolution of mountain belts.

Abstract
The interplay between magmatism and tectonics is pivotal for deciphering the tectonic and geodynamic evolution of mountain belts. In the northern Apennines - northern Tyrrhenian Sea orogenic system large amounts of magma were emplaced at shallow crustal levels since the middle-late Miocene to recent (e.g. Serri et al., 1993; Rosenbaum et al., 2008). In this sector of the Apennine chain the mutual relationships between magmatism and tectonics are still a matter of debate (e.g., Rossetti et al., 1999; Acocella and Rossetti, 2002; Musumeci et al., 2005; 2008; Rosenbaum et al., 2008). Elba Island, located in the Tyrrhenian Sea about 30 km west of the inner portion of the chain, is a key area where tectonics - magmatism relationships can be studied.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
