Sažetak
The central Adriatic is the foreland of two orogenic systems - the Dinarides on the northeast and the Apennines on the southwest (Korbar, 2009). In addition to specific foreland tectonics, this area is also marked by numerous salt diapirs (Grandić et al., 1999), which have mostly been shown differently on published overview maps and illustrated geological cross-sections, and only sporadically on the interpreted seismic cross- sections. Salt diapirs form imposing subsurface structures that in places emerge on the surface and thus affect the morphology (bathymetry) of that area. Salt structures of the central Adriatic are scientifically underexplored, as well as the cause-and-effect relationship between the salt diapirs and moderate seismic activity that characterizes this area. It is assumed that the activity of the diapirs are related to the neotectonic reactivation of Mesozoic faults, some of which are probably still active. The research intends to interpret the latest 2D seismic cross- sections recorded in the area, to define the main faults, and to 3D model the geometry of selected diapiric structures. The structural-tectonic setting will be (re)defined on the offshore islands of the central Adriatic. By comparing the spatial arrangement of epicenters and hypocenters of recorded earthquakes with interpreted geological structures, an attempt will be made to clarify the connection between the active tectonics and salt diapirs.
