Evidence of slab tearing on an inherited Mesozoic rift transfer fault in the Betic Cordillera

Abstract The Western Mediterranean has undergone complex subduction and collision between the African and Iberian plates, influenced by slab segmentation and melt generation. Despite numerous studies aimed at understanding these connections, the style of subduction remains controversial. Utilizing a...
