Fig. 4. Landscapes and main landforms of western Sicily. See Fig. 5 for the geological and geomorphological interpretation. a, b, c — Flat
coastal areas of south western Sicily characterized by marine terraces. d, e — Hilly areas of central western Sicily with a rounded relief dis-
sected by river valleys; in (d) a mountain ridge (Kumeta) in “exhumed” carbonate rock produced by differential erosion. f, g — Mountain areas
of northern western Sicily; in (f) an isolated relief in “exhumed” carbonate rock produced by differential erosion and bounded by inclined
structural surfaces (left side) and fault slopes (right side); in (g) a mountain areas with top low-relief surfaces. h — Flat coastal areas of the
northern end of western Sicily characterized by marine terraces and inward bounded by high abandoned coastal cliffs controlled by normal
faults (old fault scarps).
