The structure of the Mediterranean region is the final result of a sequence of geodynamic events which may be roughly summarized in the following 4 principal stages: 1) rifting and continental break-up of Pangea (Triassic to Early Jurassic); 2) plate divergence and ocean-floor speading in the Tethyan realm (Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous); 3) plate convergence and continent-continent collision (Cretaceous to Eocene); 4) progressive consumption of the original European and African continental margins (Eocene to Present).-from Authors
