From: High resolution seismic data coupled to Multibeam bathymetry of Stromboli island collected in the frame of the Stromboli geophysical experiment: implications with the marine geophysics and volcanology of the Aeolian Arc volcanic complex (Sicily, Southern Tyrrhenian sea, Italy)

Figure 4

Sketch map showing the subduction of the Ionian lithosphere (modified after Marani and Trua 2002). The location of the Marsili ridge, Aeolian Arc and Calabria has been also indicated. An abrupt increase of the rollback due to the full development of lateral tears in the Ionian slab, between Early and Middle Pleistocene, generates the lateral flow of deep asthenosphere around the slab margins. The dotted line corresponds to the crustal thickness of the Tyrrhenian plate.
