• Available stratigraphic and geomorphologic data have permitted to make new hypotheses on the Pliocene-Early Pleistocene history of the uplift and normal faultingin the Abruzzi Apennines (central Italy) and on the relationship between the two phenomena. Stratigraphic data indicate that the intermontane basins have formed since the Pliocene. The basin evolution has been conditioned by the activity of faults which were responsible for the formation of a dissected landscape affected by deep basins and mountain slopes which fed landslide deposits. This Plio-Quaternary landscape resulted from the displacement of an older paleolandscape (TPL), whose origin may be related to erosional processes occurred at an elevation close to the sea level, subsequent to the thrust phase in the investigated area. The presence of remnants of the TPL at high elevation (1350–1500m a.s.l.) indicates a significant uplift (about 1000 m) since the Pliocene (age of the first post-thrustingcontine ntal deposition). The Pliocene basin formation as a result of the TPL displacement and its synchroneity with the Abruzzi Apennine uplift (after the TPL formation) suggest a direct relationship between the two phenomena. In particular, uplift is the probable main cause of normal faulting. (literal)

Abstract

• Remants of a flat paleolandscape of erosional origin (top paleolandscape, TPL) have been detected in the Abruzzi Apennines (central Italy) at high elevations (1350–1500m a.s.l.). According to current views, the TPL formation occurred at an elevation close to sea level, and probably marks the first significant geomorphic event in the investigated sector. Since this erosional paleolandscape affects an already deformed pre-Pliocene marine substratum and different structural units, its formation occurred after the thrustfaulting phase, which affected the investigated area. The present elevation of the TPL remnants indicates a significant uplift following the formation of this geomorphic feature. This uplift began during the Pliocene (age of the first post-thrusting continental deposits, subsequent or sub-contemporaneous to the TPL and related to the formation of intermontane basins). Pliocene deposits have been found in the Turano, Salto, and Fucino basins. The origin of these basins was conditioned by the activity of normal faults, which affected and displaced the TPL duringthe Pliocene. Considering (1) that the TPL experienced uplift since the Pliocene and (2) that after the beginning of the uplift phase it was displaced during the Pliocene by the faults responsible for the evolution of the mentioned basins, uplift of the Apennine chain and normal faultingare closely related. The analysis of the mentioned basins permitted to hypothesise a succession of Pliocene–early Pleistocene geomorphic and tectonic events: (1) Pliocene formation of the TPL at low elevation a.s.l.; (2) beginning of the uplift and displacement of the TPL due to the activity of normal faults; (3) formation of the Turano, Salto, and Fucino Pliocene basins; (4) fault activity responsible for the displacement of the Pliocene deposits; (5) erosional phase affectingall the investigated basins; (6) deposition of the Early Pleistocene units.
