SUMMARY
Geological and geophysical constraints to reconstruct the evolution of the Central
Mediterranean subduction zone are presented. Geological observations such as upper
plate stratigraphy, HP–LT metamorphic assemblages, foredeep/trench stratigraphy,
arc volcanism and the back-arc extension process are used to define the infant stage
of the subduction zone and its latest, back-arc phase. Based on this data set, the time
dependence of the amount of subducted material in comparison with the tomographic
images of the upper mantle along two cross-sections from the northern Apennines and
from Calabria to the Gulf of Lyon can be derived. Further, the reconstruction is used
to unravel the main evolutionary trends of the subduction process. Results of this
analysis indicate that (1) subduction in the Central Mediterranean is as old as 80 Myr,
(2) the slab descended slowly into the mantle during the first 20–30 Myr (subduction
speeds were probably less than 1 cm yearx1), (3) subduction accelerated afterwards,
producing arc volcanism and back-arc extension and (4) the slab reached the 660 km
transition zone after 60–70 Myr. This time-dependent scenario, where a slow initiation
is followed by a roughly exponential increase in the subduction speed, can be modelled
by equating the viscous dissipation per unit length due to the bending of oceanic litho-
sphere to the rate of change of potential
