Scientists explain Italy's 'unzipping' crust via delamination process

Tavani's team proposes delamination as explanation for Apennine paradox

Geologists led by Stefano Tavani of the University of Florence present research suggesting that Earth's crust is 'unzipping' beneath Italy through a process called delamination. The lower crust and lithosphere peel away and sink into the mantle along a single migrating front—like a zipper—moving toward the Adriatic foreland, explaining why the Apennines experience both compression and extension simultaneously.

“Earth's crust is 'unzipping' under Italy, producing the strange geology on the land above. It's a process known as delamination, in which the dense lower crust and attached lithosphere peel away from the crust above and sink into the mantle.”
