Geophysical insights on the structure and geodynamic evolution of the se Carpathians and related foreland in the context of the Black Sea opening
The paper brings into discussion geophysical evidence for jointly explaining the unusual craton seismicity in front of the SE Carpathians and the upper mantle intermediate-depth earthquakes in the Vrancea zone within the frame of the geodynamic environment generated by the W Black Sea opening and further evolution of the lithosphere expelled towards NW by rifting.
