9) Romagna-Umbria thrust units, composed of a Mesozoic to Pleistocene carbonate-silicoclastic sequence (of inner continental margin) first involved in the compressional deformation in Messinian time. Three main superposed units are recognized. (10) Po Plain-Adriatic-Marche thrust and fold units, similar to the previous, but first involved in the compressional deformation during the Pliocene. (11) Adriatic foreland, substantially undeformed but flexured. The thicker and more continuously exposed tectonic units are units 1, 4, 8-11.
25). The former developed during a time of still intense frontal compression in the SA arc, whereas the latter developed during of stasis in swface shortening and clastic wedge building. Although differences in sedimentation occur, marked variations in sea Ievel led to compatible coastal and shelf sedimentary facies architectures. In Chapter 26, Barberi and Carapezza assess the many volcanic hazards of the Apennines and the central Mediterranean area. For example, just for one volcano, the seldom erupting, but still active Vesuvius, more than 600,000 people are at real risk for an explosive eruption, and infrastructures are such that a full week would be required to evacuate them.
