Resumen:
In the Middle and Upper Trias, mainly alkaline volcanism related to rifting occurred in the W and SE Mediterranean, whereas calc-alkaline tholeiitic and alkali basalts related to subduction zones appeared in the Dinarides and Hellenides. This event may have partly caused the destruction of the Permian Tethys and the modification of the upper mantle in the E Mediterranean. During the Jurassic, a seaway bounded by two passive continental margins occurred in the Alps; the ophiolites are similar to present-day oceanic crust. During the Cretaceous in the W Mediterranean, magmatism ceased and compression associated with shearing began, while in the E Mediterranean the opening of basins gave the Cyprus and Syrian ophiolites.-R.A.H.
