Despite considerable progress in restoring rifted margins, none of the current kinematic models can restore the Mesozoic motion of the Iberian block in full agreement with the circum-Iberian geology. This conflict requires a revision of the kinematic description at the onset of divergence. The circum-Iberian region has a unique geological dataset that allows calibration and testing of kinematic reconstructions and therefore it is an ideal candidate for testing intracontinental restoration approaches. Here we define intracontinental deforming regions, referred to as strike-slip corridors, based on alignments of Mesozoic rift basins and/or transfer zones bordering rigid continental blocks. We use these strike-slip corridors and data from the southern N-Atlantic and Tethys to define the motion path of the Flemish Cap, Ebro and Iberia continental blocks. The resulting Mesozoic kinematic model for the Iberian block is compatible with recently published data and interpretations describing the Mesozoic circum-Iberian geology. Large-scale intracontinental strike-slip corridors may offer a valid boundary condition for reconstructing continental block motion at the onset of divergence in intracontinental settings.

使用陆内走滑走廊重建伊比利亚的运动学

尽管在恢复裂谷边缘方面取得了相当大的进展，但目前的运动学模型都不能恢复与环伊比利亚地质完全一致的伊比利亚地块的中生代运动。这种冲突需要在分歧开始时修改运动学描述。伊比利亚周边地区拥有独特的地质数据集，允许校准和测试运动学重建，因此它是测试大陆内恢复方法的理想候选者。在这里，我们根据中生代裂谷盆地和/或与刚性大陆块接壤的转移带的排列来定义大陆内变形区域，称为走滑走廊。我们使用这些走滑走廊和来自南大西洋和特提斯群岛南部的数据来定义佛兰芒帽的运动路径，埃布罗和伊比利亚大陆块。由此产生的伊比利亚地块的中生代运动学模型与最近发表的描述中生代环伊比利亚地质的数据和解释兼容。大规模的陆内走滑廊道可能为在陆内环境开始发散时重建陆块运动提供有效的边界条件。
