The Iberian Meseta is represented by extensive plateaus shaped in pre-Mesozoic rocks of the Iberian Massif. Above the Meseta plateaus, Appalachian-type reliefs are built in metamorphic rocks, testifying an older planation surface. Below the plateaus, the incised river network and the canyon-type Douro River Valley <\/span>in the Portugal\u2013Spain border region reveal a recent Atlantic capture of the northern interior of Iberia. Nonetheless, it is the Vilari\u00e7a NNE-SSW trending strike-slip fault system that is the main source for the push-up elevations and strike-slip tectonic basins bordered by pop-up type mountains that define the tectonic landscape of the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-3-319-03641-0_11\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Diamantino Insua Pereira, Paulo\u00a0Pereira The Geomorphological Landscape of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro The main geomorphological features of the eastern part of the Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro region are presented, namely the Iberian Meseta, the residual ridges, the Serra de Montesinho, the tectonic landforms and the Douro River incision.
