Moreover, contractional mechanisms varied through time for each specific sector.

In particular, model listric half-grabens were inverted by applying contractional displacement to the footwall blocks.

The basin shortening was accommodated mostly by contractional faults and related folds.

The interseismic energy accumulation and the coseismic expenditure rather depend on the tectonic setting (extensional, contractional, or strike-slip).

Two contractional phases were distinguished.
