• Resumen

  • This study is based on the analysis of geological, structural and gravimetric data from thearea of Serra da Boa Viagem (Cabo Mondego, Figueira da Foz, Portugal). A gravimetric survey has beenmade in the area to obtain more information about subsurface structures. The analysis suggests that thenegative residual anomalies seem to be correlated with major tectonic faults. Reactivation of theCretaceous Riedel transcurrent system during the Alpine deformation can explain the observed tectonicstructures
