Abstract
The fragmentation of the collisional border
between the African and European plates has also originated
the Apulian (Adriatic) microplate. Recent studies
show the possibility of a non-unitary geodynamic
evolution of this microplate: palaeomagnetic data from
North-Western Greece and Southern Apulia indicate a
different rotational behaviour. Between 41' and 43'
latitude North, regional strike-slip fault systems cut
crosswise the Adriatic basin, breaking the Adriatic
block in at least two minor elements. The intense seismicity
points out an active defonnational area. In the
same region also other geophysical data identify a transitional
zone.
