Structural map of the Caribbean<\/a> was launched at the General Assembly of the CGMW in 2004 (resol. 65) - following a feasibility meeting held in the Caribbean, in Guadeloupe (18 and 19 November 2004) - to fill the gap in the CGMW maps between the South American and North American continents and to highlight the main geological features of the plates interacting with the Caribbean plate.<\/p>\nA relevant representation has been designed using a dual approach for onshore and offshore.<\/p>\n
A compilation of geological data from national maps and academic articles has been carefully carried out in large regions (see overlapping boxes in insert) of the map, while retaining its specificity.<\/p>\n
The legend is supported by an outline of the chronology of the formations in each major region, represented in the form of columns arranged according to stratigraphic scale.<\/p>\n
As the offshore area had been explored unevenly, the approach was different and based mainly on geophysical data to which were added the geological characteristics deduced from seismic or bathymetry.<\/p>\n
The geophysical data (marine magnetic anomalies) have been recompiled and fully reprocessed (Garc\u00eda-Reyes, 2018; 2021).<\/p>\n
We interpreted the crustal nature of the Caribbean Plate and Gulf of Mexico from recompiled marine magnetic anomalies and the vertical gravity gradient (Sandwell et al., 2014).<\/p>\n
An attempt has been made to correlate offshore and onshore data.<\/p>\n
