Depósitos aluviales en el margen suroeste de la Cordillera Costero Catalana: características sedimentarias

The alluvial fan system of Gandesa–Horta de Sant Joan (Tarragona) was closely connected to the tectonic activity in the active margins of the basin during the Palaeogene, especially in the Catalan Coastal Chain. In this way, alluvial fans prograded or retrograded depending on the thrusts movement of...

Sumario:The alluvial fan system of Gandesa–Horta de Sant Joan (Tarragona) was closely connected to the tectonic activity in the active margins of the basin during the Palaeogene, especially in the Catalan Coastal Chain. In this way, alluvial fans prograded or retrograded depending on the thrusts movement of the Range. There is a clear structural control which determines the alluvial fan’s expansion direction as well as the drainage direction of them inferred from distributary channels. The alluvial fan deposits are made up by materials sedimented by different kind of flows; this fact suggests some control factors in the source area
