		In fact, a great part of the Tuscan Archipelago and of the other islands of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the masses of the Peloritan Mountains in Sicily, of Aspromonte and of Sila in Calabria, the Roian Alps, formed of archaic rocks, all are fragments of an ancient land now for the most part submerged.
		Another fact that gave to the configuration of Italy its present characteristic lines was the recession of the sea from that great gulf which became the fertile plain of the Po.

	Tyrrhenian Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tyrrhenian Sea is part of the Mediterranean Sea off of the western coast of Italy.
		The Tyrrhenian Sea is situated near the African-European Fault; therefore mountain chains and active volcanoes (mount Marsilii) are in its depths.
		In Greek mythology, it is believed that the cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea housed the four winds kept by Aeolus.

	Florence 2004 - The Tyrrhenian — A New Sea in the Making
		In the strict sense of the word, however, these are not really new discoveries in that the presence of volcanoes in the Tyrrhenian has been known to researchers for some time, while the lava from them is familiar enough to have been thoroughly studied.
		Nor indeed is this the only valid reason for venturing into the story of a small ocean in the making right smack in the middle of two continents that have been on a collision course for millions of years.
		What refocused public attention on the history of the Tyrrhenian Sea was the possibility that Marsili’s undersea eruption might cause tsunami, which is part of a story that began more than 10 million years ago and is far from being over.

	Unusual origins of Europe's largest volcano explained
		Etna's voluminous flows are the consequence of "slab rollback" where a chunk of the Tyrrhenian plate broke off, rapidly opening a narrow basin of magma that is sucked up from under the nearby African plate, they say.
		Vesuvius on the other side of the Tyrrhenian Sea from Etna may be the same sort of volcano, Nur adds, but that awaits further research.
		The figure shows that Mt. Etna is situated at the junction of three fault zones and to the side of the South Tyrrhenian Sea subduction zone where the underlying plates of Africa and Europe are converging.

		These two different views can be both valid if we consider that the distance stated by Dionisius was referred to length, while that quoted by Strabo to width; therefore the land of the Sabini was compared to the point of a lance, extended towards the sea between the Tiber and the Teverone rivers.

	Strain pattern of the Southern Tyrrhenian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Seismic strain is analysed along the slab face of the Southern Tyrrhenian subduction zone using focal mechanisms of deep earthquakes which occurred in the period 1960-1998.
		600 km depth earthquakes, and that a large portion of the Tyrrhenian slab, between 100 and 250 km depth beneath the offshore of the Calabrian arc, is aseismic.
		The lack of seismicity may indicate either that aseismic subduction is occurring or that the slab is detached from its upper part.

		It is believed that typically the surface current field consists of a basin-scale cyclonic gyre in the southern sector of the basin, while the northern area is characterized by a seasonally modulated wind-induced anticyclonic gyre.
		We present results of the first year of lagrangian observations of the surface circulation in the Tyrrhenian sea by means of CODE drifters.
		The drifter trajectories reveal a high variability of the south Tyrrhenian circulation, mostly in the central sector where the mean flow is not very well defined due to a relatively strong eddy activity.

	Journal Contents - Reconstruction of the tectonic evolution of the western Mediterranean
		The Tyrrhenian Sea is the youngest basin in the western Mediterranean, forming since the Tortonian (~9 Ma).
		The opening of the Tyrrhenian Sea occurred in two stages: an early (9-5 Ma) opening of the northern Tyrrhenian Sea (Figure 17), and a late (5-0 Ma) opening of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Mantovani et al.
		In Early Miocene, back-arc extension propagated to Provençal, Algerian and Alboran basins, and in the Upper Miocene, extension in the Tyrrhenian Sea commenced.

		Mount Etna, the largest volcano in Europe, is very close to the Aeolian Magmatic Arc in the south Tyrrhenian subduction zone and yet shows no traces of subducted material (Figure 1).
		The Ionian microplate, between the Apulia and Malta Escarpments, subduct under the Tyrrhenian microplate as indicated by the purple area (purple contours represent the depth to the top of the subducted slab, after Feropeli et al.
		This perspective illustrates the exceptional state of the south Tyrrhenian subduction zone, where asthenospheric material has penetrated high along the plate contact and reached the base of the crust in the forearc region.

	The Southern Tyrrhenian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Geological and geophysical data have been integrated with the aim of presenting a new evolutionary model for the Southern Tyrrhenian and adjacent regions.
		The Southern Tyrrhenian backarc basin opened within a plate convergence regime because of sinking and rollback of the oceanic Ionian lithosphere.
		On the basis of seismological observations, I infer that the sinking slab was torn apart on either side in the last 2 Ma and this process controlled the neotectonics of the Southern Apennines - Tyrrhenian region.

	IngentaConnect A topographic surface reduction of aeromagnetic anomaly field ove... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The origin of the intense depth variations depends on the Tyrrhenian structural setting, that is associated with the presence of several tectonic lineaments, seamounts or volcanic islands.
		The data were characterized by good quality and dense sampling, but they have been reprocessed in order either to solve some problems in the original compilation, and to reduce the distortion of the geomagnetic anomaly field caused by the difference of distance between the survey level and the magnetic source.
		Downward projection of the aeromagnetic data by BTM algorithm increases the definition of the anomalous magnetic signal without distortions in the geometric pattern of the field, thus showing a more stable and effective association between the magnetic anomalies and their geological sources.

	Warming, salting and origin of the Tyrrhenian Deep Water
		Data collected from 1996 to 2001 down to 3,500 m in the Tyrrhenian sub-basin with ship-handled and moored instruments show 5-year T and S trends (0.016 °C/yr, 0.008/yr) that are the largest ever evidenced in Mediterranean deep waters.
		This is not consistent with the usual hypothesis that Tyrrhenian Deep Water (TDW) is a mixture of eastern water flowing from the Sicily Channel and western water flowing from the Sardinia Channel partly since both are reported to encounter lower trends.
		We argue that TDW might result from a dense water formation process occurring within the Tyrrhenian itself, in a region never reported up to now, east of the Bonifacio Strait.

		We present a lithospheric section of the northern Tyrrhenian basin based on principal observations along a transect from Corsica Island to Tuscany margin.
		The shift observed between the Corsica Basin and the Tuscany coast suggests an asymmetric lithospheric thinning which involves a detachment fault located at the base of the Corsican basin.

	Transverse systems along the extensional Tyrrhenian margin of central Italy and their influence on volcanism
		The Tyrrhenian margin of central Italy has undergone Plio-Quaternary extension, developing NW-SE normal faults and NE-SW faults.
		The minor dip-slip and strike-slip components of the NE-SW and NW-SE faults, respectively, possibly result from the NW-SE extension due to the southeastward slab retreat beneath the Calabrian arc.
		The NE-SW and NW-SE extensions in the central southern Tyrrhenian Sea account for the composite kinematics of the NE-SW structures, which, in turn, exert a twofold role in controlling volcanism.

		On the western side of the country is the Ligurnian-Tyrrhenian region where the weather is moderated by the Tyrrhenian Sea resulting in cool winters, warm summers and plenty of rain.
