This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file . This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{ vector version available | new image name }} .


It is recommended to name the SVG file “CentralMediterranean-GeotectonicMap.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva ) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description
English: This picture (van Dijk, 1992, published also in van Dijk, 1994, and coloured versions are in van Dijk et al. 1998, 2000; reproduced by many other authors) shows a geological/ geo-tectonic map of the Central Mediterranean area, comprising the Calabrian Arc. This version of the picture was prepared for Wikipedia, by cleaning and removal of abbreviations and unnecessary section traces and indications.

All authors reproducing this figure in their work in original or modified form are kindly requested to correctly refer to the original source according to standard scientific ethics codes.

It is an original compilation of the present knowledge regarding this complex system, and numerous references and discussions regarding previous knowledge can be found in the extensive bibliographies of van Dijk & Okkes (1990), van Dijk (1992) and van Dijk et al. (2000).

The blue trace on the figure represents the position of the regional geo-tectonic structural cross section which can be found in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CalabrianArc-GeotectonicSection.jpg .

Numerous features regarding the geo-tectonic structure of the Central Mediterranean Area as underlined by different authors have been indicated in the map: The domains in foreland, arc and back-arc areas, important shear zones that intersect the area and distribute the deformation that has occurred during different episodes of the evolution, and various sectors with specific types of lithosphere and their interrelationships.
