The Ofanto Basin is a morphostructural low located in an intermediate position between the axial zone and the front of the southern Apennines. The morphological evolution of this area is very interesting because of the peculiarities related to its E-W orientation, the anomalies of the drainage network and the distribution of terraced surfaces. This paper focuses on the distribution of low fluvial terraces, landslides terraces and strath terraces as a clue to interpret the sequence of events that have controlled the geomorphological evolution in the middle Pleistocene – Holocene time range.

Abstract

The Ofanto Basin is a morphostructural low located in an intermediate position between the axial zone and the front of the southern Apennines. The morphological evolution of this area is very interesting because of the peculiarities related to its E-W orientation, the anomalies of the drainage network and the distribution of terraced surfaces. This paper focuses on the distribution of low fluvial terraces, landslides terraces and strath terraces as a clue to interpret the sequence of events that have controlled the geomorphological evolution in the middle Pleistocene – Holocene time range.
