Figure 4. Cross sections showing the structural relationships between the Site 976 high and the Alpujárride units in the Ronda region. Cross section A-A´ (see Fig. 2 for location) exhibits the extensional thinning and dismembering of the Alpujata peridotite body (stretching nearly northwest-southeast). Cross section B-B´ (see Fig. 1 for location) shows the main low-angle normal faults bounding a northeast-southwest Miocene graben beneath the northwest Alboran Sea and mud diapirs related to the extension (simplified from two MCS profiles across the northwestern Alboran Basin, from Comas et al., 1992); lithoseismic units after Comas et al. (1992). The Alozaina Sedimentary Complex (AC) is the equivalent on land of lithoseismic unit 6.
