Summary
The Iberian Peninsula has been rotating clockwise over the past 35 million years, according to a new study. This geodynamic process is driven by the convergence of the African and Eurasian plates, which has led to the uplift of the Pyrenees and the formation of the Alboran Sea in the western Mediterranean.
