Abstract
The Neogene geodynamics of the Mediterranean Sea is shaped by two major subduction zones,<br>i.e., the Apennines-Maghrebides arc (AM) in the western side, and the Dinarides-Hellenides-Cyprus<br>arc (DH) in the eastern side. The two orogens migrated respectively ‘eastward’ and<br>“southwestward”. The subduction zones digested branches of Tethys and related Mesozoic passive<br>continental margins.
