Figure 6. Tectonic and total subsidence plots for the Granada-D1 well (in the Granada Basin [GB], Fig. 4), Hole 976B, and the Andalucía-A1 well, obtained using "backstripping" techniques that consider paleobathymetric corrections (from Rodríguez-Fernández et al., Chap. 5, this volume). The Site 976 High shows two periods of rapid subsidence, at ~11-10.7 Ma (late Serravallian), and at ~1.7 Ma (earliest Pleistocene), and uplift at 5-2.5 Ma. The Andalucía-A1 well shows three periods of subsidence at 15.5-14.5 Ma (Langhian), at 13-10.7 Ma (Serravallian), and at ~9.2-8.5 Ma (Tortonian). The middle to late Miocene steeps in the subsidence curves at Site 976 and the Andalucía A1 well are interpreted as phases of synrift subsidence. Early Pliocene uplift and earliest Pleistocene rapid subsidence at Site 976 could be related to tectonic events during the post-Messinian contractive reorganization of the basin, as the subsidence probably related to episodic transtensional conditions within a general trend of probably thermal, gentle subsidence. The Granada-D1 well shows rapid uplift at the early Messinian (about 7 Ma) followed by an overall negative subsidence trend, indicating that uplift at the basin margins and isolation of the intramontane Betic Neogene Basins started by the latest Tortonian. The general changeover from marine to continental basins is shown at 4 Ma (early Pliocene). Location of wells is shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4; drilled sequences are shown in Figure 3.
