Abstract
Maesano et al. (2020) (MTB hereafter) address the occurrence of a lithospheric tear in the western Ionian Sea, an highly debated issue, arguing that the Alfeo Fault system (AFS) is the “lateral termination of the subduction zone.” The new data presented are of good quality and contribute to the geological understanding of the region. Nevertheless, some interesting issues in MTB’s paper deserve to be discussed and are briefly tackled below.File in questo prodotto:
