Abstract

The outer zone of the Central Apennines of Italy and the adjacent Adriatic foreland provide different examples of positive inversion tectonics. These areas, belonging to the northeastern sector of the Adria plate, experienced widespread extensional tectonics during the Mesozoic evolution of the Tethyan passive margin, and were later affected both by Alpine and Apenninic contractional events. The outer zone of the Central Apennines of Italy and the Adriatic foreland provide different exam- ples of positive inversion tectonics that affect different domains. Triassic and Jurassic normal faults were moder- ately inverted in the Adriatic foreland that was deformed during Alpine and Apenninic contractional events; while a strong inversion during Neogene with complete extrusion of the Triassic synrift wedges is suggested by subsurface data in the outer sector of the Apennine chain where pre- vails a thick-skinned tectonics.
