Abstract

• The Campania continental margin is characterised by asymmetric half graben and large-volume volcanic deposits. Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei are active volcanoes located along the coast of Naples Bay that is one of these half graben. The interpretation of an extensive grid of seismic reflection profiles allowed to reconstruct the stratigraphy and structural pattern in Naples Bay and their relationships with volcanism. The stratigraphic succession is characterised by a complex architecture due to the presence of 157 ka old submarine and subaerial vents, pyroclastic flow units associated to the Campanian ignimbrite and the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff, and numerous tuff cones younger than 12 ka. These volcanic units are layered within marine sediments deposited during the late Quaternary sea level oscillations. The structural pattern is characterised by late Quaternary NE- trending normal faults, NW-trending transtensional faults, E-W trending left-lateral faults and WNW-ESE folds. The overall fault kinematics and the very high evaluated displacement rates are consistent with the activity of an E-trending left-lateral transtensional shear zone located between 41° and 40° N Latitude. The relationships between volcanism and tectonics in the Bay of Naples was explained in terms of block rotation associated with this shear zone. Finally, tectonic and stratigraphic data argue against the occurrence of a caldera in the Bay of Naples. (literal)
