| Summary | This title discusses the origin and evolutionary pattern of the Mediterranean Sea and its environs. The concept of seafloor spreading provides a scientific basis for the theory of plate tectonics. This theory explains the physiography and geological characteristics of the Mediterranean Basin, which is viewed as a 'hollow' caught between the colliding African Plate to the south, the Eurasian Plate to the north, and the Arabian Subplate to the east. Within the basin and around it, interactions of numerous microplates control the shape of the landmasses and their destinies. |
