| Popis: | This article is reply to comment on Pedrera et al. (2017) https://doi.org/10.1029/2018TC005129 We thank Pedreira et al. for their interest in our tectonic model. We face this reply as an opportunity to further clarify and update our approach, as well as to discuss the differences with other lithospheric scale models proposed for the North Iberian Margin. Pedreira et al. (2018) raise four major concerns about our paper: (i) gravity modeling procedure, (ii) interpretation of the high-density body inferred from the positive gravity anomalies, (iii) cross-section restoration, and (iv) geodynamic model. We do not concede that any of these main issues disprove our interpretation. Accordingly, we defend our model by addressing, in the same order as their comments, the questions raised by Pedreira et al. (2018). This work benefited from the funding of project “Tectonic map of the Iberian Peninsula and the surrounding cordilleras” included in the Spanish National Cartographic Plan, as well as projects CGL2015-71692-P and CGL2016-80687-R of the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI). |
