| On October 16, 1979, off the Bay of Nice, a turbidity current, generated by large submarine landslides. was channelled by submarine valleys down to the bathyal plain of the Ligurian Sea where it seriously damaged two submarine cables, at about 80 and 110 km from its starting-point. The measured mean speeds were 17 km/h, above the first cable, and 7 km/h between the two cables, but the speed may have reached 40 km/h on the upper slope. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] |

| The alignment of the Balearic Islands, stretching from the Spanish mainland towards the Corsican-Sardinian block, has long intrigued many geologists. Since Suess (1886), we know that the Balearic block (Ibiza, Formentera, and Majorca) is part of the Alpine system. Many authors (Kober, 1914; Staub, 1928; Kober, 1931) have subsequently attempted to comprehensively integrate the history of the Balearic block within the history of the Alpine chain. In this paper, we will use data from marine geology and geophysics to define the location of the Balearic Islands during the diverse phases of distension, shearing, and compression between the European and African plates, which created the present western Mediterranean and the Alpine chain. In particular, we will... |
