Efectos tectónicos recientes en el Campo de Calatrava deducidos de los datos paleomagnéticos del volcanismo neógeno

Abstract

The Campo de Calatrava region shows some effects of the recent tectonics related to origin of the Betic orogen. Some of the effect recognizable at Campo de Calatrava was: vertical blocks movements leading to depressions where neogene sediments began to deposit giving rise to the tertiary basins located in the center of the Ciudad Real province. The neotectonic also has influenced in the distribution of the volcanism, which appears aligned with the main structures activity. The analysis of the variations of the magnetic declination of some of existing volcanoes allows detect the block rotations over vertical axis. Nevertheless the results show that the declination values do not prove that there has been a generalized rotation of all the area
