| | Hollow Moon Cultures: Pteryx of the Apennines |
 | | As it is, other races live with a nagging, quiet dread of these antique reptiles, whose territory virtually no one but troglodytes ever ventures near, lest such trespasses provoke a catastrophic and blistering retaliation against the intruders' kind. | | | That's what escaped "burden-beasts", released "pets", and trapped-and-released "specimens" get to tell the rest of the HM peoples, when those lucky few who DO regain their freedom rejoin their own kind. | | | However it arose, most Apennine reptiles (of either race) now consider the cities' long-standing social hierarchy -- i.e. |

| | Apennine Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the Italian Campaign of World War II, the Germans used the Apennines as a defensive barrier known to the Allies as the Gothic Line. | | | The sea grew shallow, the deposits became conglomeratic and shaly, volcanic eruptions began, and the present folds of the Apennines were initiated. | | | Glaciers no longer exist in the Apennines, but Post-Pliocene moraines have been observed in Basilicata. |

| | This means that the epiLigurian stratigraphy has been preserved largely undisturbed since that time, as the Ligurian unit rode the Apennine orogeny like a carpet. | | | This suggests that the Ligurian was emplaced in its distorted position early in its history, and has not been chewed up much since. | | | The Apennines are characterized by nappes, formed from forearc sediments. |

| | TRANSLATIONAL STEADY-STATE OROGENY IN THE NORTHERN APENNINES: DO COUPLED FRONTS REALLY EXIST? |
| | The superposition of extension onto earlier compression could be due to mantle uplift, as suggested by D’Agostino, Jackson, Dramis and Funiciello in 2001, or to propagation of extensional rifting from the widening Tyrrhenian Sea in the south toward the Apennines in the north. | | | To add precision to this model, and as a prerequisite for testing it, we introduce and quantify the concept of "translational steady state," in which an orogen remains a fixed width while moving laterally. | | | All other forms of reproduction and/or transmittal are prohibited without written permission from GSA Copyright Permissions. |

| | THE INTERMOUNTAIN BASINS WITHIN THE APENNINES (ITALY): LANDSCAPES RESULTING BY REPEATED STRONG EARTHQUAKES |
| | This relation, or “seismic landscape”, is apparent for all the Quaternary normal fault basins of the Apennines, also where local factors such as very high rates of depositional/erosional processes due to the drainage network (Rieti basin) or pre-existing structural complexities (Bojano basin) tend to mask the real shape and size of the growing geologic structure. | | | This study aims at showing A) why we can assume that these basins are the result of repeated strong earthquakes over a geologic time interval, that is the last ca. | | | The epicentral areas and the most relevant ground effects of strong historical to modern earthquakes that occur in the Apennines — with typical hypocentral depths of 5 — 15 km - are systematically located within the intermountain extensional basins that characterize the landscape of the inner part of Central and Southern Italy. |

| | Décollement depth versus accretionary prism dimension in the Apennines and the Barbados |
| | Décollement depth versus accretionary prism dimension in the Apennines and the Barbados | | | Despite these differences, the geometry of both décollements is, in some cases, comparable, in particular, close to the boundary between the crystalline crust and the sediment pile, where the main density and strength contrasts are concentrated. | | | As a consequence, the larger area/volume and higher elevation of the Apennines with respect to the Barbados is determined by the Apenninic deeper décollement. |
