Geomorphic features
Lithostructural features are widespread even when looking at a small scale such as in Fig. 9. This is not surprising in a country which is mostly everywhere uplifting and where lithology strongly controls, at local scale, the erosion rates.
Volcanic features, connected with the ongoing and/or recent magmatic activity, characterize only the central and southern sectors of peninsular Italy and several large and minor islands as well.
Virtually all morphogenic processes, including karst and eolic, left their footprint over the Country (Fig. 10).
