(ABSTRACT)
The Black Sea has formed as a back-arc basin of the Neotethys ocean, during
Cretaceous and Eocene.
The reverse character of the faults and some seismic events can be regarded
as proofs of a recent/present compressional state of the Black Sea basin.
The displacements of the Pontic north-western tectonic blocks possible exercise
an influence on the dynamics of the Vrancea area.
Key words: back-arc, extension, fracture, compression, reactivation, dynamics,
active, earthquake.
