The basic kinematic evolution leading to the present tectonic setting of the Northern Adriatic zone is here synthetically outlined. The Adriatic domain is the structural area progressively invaded by neighboring orogenic chains. The evolution of the Southern Alps and of the Northern Apennines from the beginning of the Neogene time onward is here summarized. Orogenic processes due to plate convergence or to orogenic and magmatic arc evolution are here compared and discussed in the frame of Western Mediterranean genesis.

Abstract
The basic kinematic evolution leading to the present tectonic setting of the Northern Adriatic zone is here synthetically outlined. The Adriatic domain is the structural area progressively invaded by neighboring orogenic chains. The evolution of the Southern Alps and of the Northern Apennines from the beginning of the Neogene time onward is here summarized. Orogenic processes due to plate convergence or to orogenic and magmatic arc evolution are here compared and discussed in the frame of Western Mediterranean genesis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
