“…In order to make this calculation and formulate a comparison, the different tectonic uplift rates estimated by several authors in the Strait of Gibraltar have been recalculated taking as new references the highest sea-level data and the age for MIS 5e-2 and MIS 5a substages (135 and 83 ka, respectively) provided by Tuccimei et al (2006) for the Island of Mallorca. This value of tectonic uplift is close to that obtained in Murcia and Trafalgar southern of Spain, Zazo et al, 1999Zazo et al, , 2003 or Alhoceima regions (northeastern coast of Morocco, Gigout et al, 1974) (Fig. 8).…”

“…5). These terraces were described by Cadet et al (1977) and by Gigout et al (1977), both members of the Groupe de Recherche Néotectonique (1977). The paleo-shore line associated with the last interglacial period (MIS 5) is well defined in the western Mediterranean (e.g., Zazo et al, 2003;Bardají et al, 2009).…”

“…On certain coasts of Almeria (southern Spain) and in Ras Tarf, to the East of Alhoceima (Morocco; Fig. 5), the Ouljian terraces occur at 10 m above MSL (Gigout et al, 1977;Zazo et al, 2003), an altitude interval that slightly exceeds the long-term eustatic fall. This indicates a moderate tectonic uplift since the late Ouljian (0 to 4 m in most places, although there are some exceptions; see Fig.…”

Well-preserved Quaternary staircased marine terraces appear on Ras Leona limestone relief. This is a peculiar sector of the Betic-Rif Cordillera, lying in the four-way junction between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and Europe and Africa. The age and altitude correlation of the Ras Leona terraces with travertine-covered lateral equivalent terraces fashioned in the neighbouring Beni Younech area, and comparison with those along the Moroccan Atlantic coasts, would suggest that the Ras Leona terraces were mainly formed by eustatic factors. The importance of the eustasy is supported by further comparisons with Spanish and Moroccan Mediterranean terraces and with different marine terraces developed on passive-margin coasts around the world. A tectonic event occurred mainly during the period between the formation of the Maarifian and the Ouljian terraces (i.e., between 370 and 150 ka). The moderate Quaternary tectonic uplift deduced from the marine terraces and its comparison with uplifted marine terraces developed in active subduction setting disagrees with the model of an active eastwards subduction below the Gibraltar tectonic arc.
