Resumo(s)
The occurrence of rocky and sandy cliffs on the south coast of the Algarve is a
consequence of tectonic movement since the Upper Miocene. The Algarve Basin was
affected by uplift west of Olhos de Água and subsidence to the east. This process created
local sedimentary basins in the easternmost part of the Algarve which filled with
sediment throughout the Pliocene and Pleistocene (Moura & Boski, 1999). In contrast to
the carbonate sediments formed on the continental shelf during the Miocene, the Pliocene
and Pleistocene sediments are mostly siliclastic, deposited in littoral and continental
environments. Rapid uplift and consequent erosion produced abundant clastic sediments,
which were carried into the regional sedimentary basins.
