La zona de falla de Torres Cartas, conjunto de fallas normales de bajo ángulo entre Nevado-Filábrides y Alpujárrides (Sierra Alhamilla, Béticas Orientales)

Abstract

The Torres Cartas Fault Zone is a large low-angle extensional structure, strongly thinning the Nevado-Filabride and Alpujarride nappes. These nappe complexes form the basement of the Alboran sea southwest Sierra Alhamilla. The fault zone, being already probably active in Burdigalian times, was folded during the Upper Miocene
