Description :
Marine terrace flights resulting from the interaction of Quaternary glacio-eustatic fluctuations and tectonic uplift are a typical feature of the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria in Southern Italy; in particular a terrace flight with four orders of terraces is evident in the Diamante area. The aim of this study was to define the type of tectonics that acted in the area and to determine its effects, based on morphologic, morphotectonic, sedimentologic and stratigraphic evidence.
