Abstract: | The high-level Quaternary shorelines of the Mediterranean are now in a fragmentary condition, but on some parts of the coast it has been possible to reconstruct one or more over a distance of many kilometers. A few of these reconstructed segments of shoreline are tilted or otherwise deformed, but the great majority appear to be virtually horizontal. The horizontal segments show no clear preference for any particular level or levels, from which it is concluded that all have been vertically displaced by earth movements. |
