The inner continental shelf, and the submerged shore of the west Sardinian part of the straits of Bonifacio have been studied from the geomorphological point of view . Particularly the submerged morphologies up to a water-depth of at least fifty metres between Capo Testa and Punta di li Francesi, are examined on the basis of ecographical surveys and underwater geomorphological exploration. The following morphologies have been located: abrasion platforms, erosion surfaces, paleocliffs and pebble deposits at different depths . The examined area shows a geomorphological evolution of littoral environment due to eustatic changes in the Quaternary.

Abstract

The inner continental shelf, and the submerged shore of the west Sardinian part of the straits of Bonifacio have been studied from the geomorphological point of view . Particularly the submerged morphologies up to a water-depth of at least fifty metres between Capo Testa and Punta di li Francesi, are examined on the basis of ecographical surveys and underwater geomorphological exploration. The following morphologies have been located: abrasion platforms, erosion surfaces, paleocliffs and pebble deposits at different depths . The examined area shows a geomorphological evolution of littoral environment due to eustatic changes in the Quaternary.
