Magic Foglio 47 S. Maria di Leuca — Map (OpenData)

Sheet 47 includes a sector of northern Ionian margin located off Santa Maria di Leuca, southern head of the entire Apulian territory. The Apulian territory belongs to the Avampaese Apulo, represented today by a structural unit that rises from over 2400 meters deep up to about 200 meters deep through several buried and semi-buried faults, immersing to the west, with a total rejection of about 1500 meters. Morphologically the Apula platform is formed by a large anticlinal fold of continental crust of about 100 km wide that separates the southern Adriatic basin, at the southern end of the Otranto Canal, from the deepest Ionian Sea of the Tarantan pit and is part of the current forehead systems of both the Apennines to the west and the Hellenic arch to the east. Most of the mapped and observed morphologies are mainly due to landslides in mass (slides and superficial deformations with the generation of extensive deposits at gibbous and/or irregular surface) and debris flows. The area in particular was probably affected by multiple and overlapping events and the limits between deposits are never net and well-recognizable. There are 2 critical points related to fault escarpments. CONISMA.
