- Abstract
- Instability phenomena in the Upper Miocene to Pleistocene deposits of the evaporite
karst in the Crotone Basin (Calabria, southern Italy), are described in this article. Calabria is worldwide
known as one of the most landslide-prone areas in the Mediterranean basin. Different types of
slope movements affect the outcropping rocks in the region, due to the combined action of a number
of causal factors, either predisposing (abundance of weathered materials, rugged topography, high
relief energy, and active tectonic uplift), or triggering (heavy rainfall, moderate to strong seismic
shocks, and anthropogenic action). In a karst area, such as that dealt with here, further instability is
related to development of sinkholes, subsidence phenomena, and the presence of karst caves: the area
includes several renowned caves as the system Grave Grubbo - Vallone Cùfalo (the second longest
Italian gypsum cave, with a length over 2,800 m). Observed slope movements belong to diff erent
typologies, with the greater impact on the anthropogenic environment deriving from rockfalls above
the main communication routes. A less dramatic but very subtle type of instability is represented by
sinkholes, a very common karst landform in evaporite rocks. Many caves have their entrance at the
base of large sinkholes or in their proximity. Th e effects from gravitational and erosional processes
are described in the article also through direct observations within the underground system, which
pattern is controlled by a combination of tectonics and breakdown mechanisms. Th e low resistance
of evaporites, locally increased by prevailing clays in the stratigraphy, determines high frequency
of fallen blocks. The comparison between the landforms and deposits observed at the surface and
underground pointed out to the difficulty in directly linking what is observed at the ground with the
processes acting within the karst system. This has obvious consequences in terms of civil protection,
due to the lack of premonitory signs at the ground surface, or to difficulties in observing, and correctly
evaluating, such signals. (literal)
