Abstract
La región volcánica de Campo de Calatrava se ha interpretado como un proceso de volcanismo intraplaca desarrollado durante el Neógeno. Se han propuesto dos modelos geodinámicos contrapuestos para explicar el origen de este volcanismo: a) un proceso de rifting en un contexto extensional con un adelgazamiento localizado de corteza; b) un proceso flexural de la litosfera
en un contexto compresivo débil sin adelgazamiento de corteza. El análisis de las anomalías gravimétricas de Bouguer y una modelización gravimétrica 2D a escala cortical contribuyen a discriminar entre los modelos geodinámicos propuestos para el origen del volcanismo. Los modelos gravimétricos se han constreñido en base a los estudios sísmicos profundos existentes en la zona y a la cartografía geológica regional. Los modelos gravimétricos descartan un adelgazamiento cortical, lo que cuestiona el modelo de rifting abortado y apoyan la hipótesis alternativa del proceso flexural de la litosfera en régimen compresivo débil como origen del volcanismo bético.
The volcanic region of Campo de Calatrava has been interpreted as a process of intraplate volcanism developed during Neogene. Two opposed geodynamic models have been proposed to explain the origin of this volcanism: a) a rifting process in an extensional context with localized crustal thinning; b) a flexural lithospheric process in a weak compressive setting with no crustal thinning. The analysis of the Bouguer gravity anomalies and 2D crustal gravity modeling contribute to discriminate between the geodynamic models proposed for the origin of volcanism.The gravity models are constrained based on previous deep seismic sounding profiles and the regional geological mapping. Gravity models reject a crustal thinning, and then strongly questioning, the aborted rifting model. However, gravity models support a flexural lithospheric process in weak compressive regime as the origin of Betic volcanism.
