Geology

The Tiber basin is made up of four main morpho-structural environments:^[2]

• the upper Tiber basin, composed mainly of terrigenous sediment in flysch facies of Tuscan origin (on the right bank north of Lake Trasimeno) and Umbria-Marche (on the left bank)
• the Apennine carbonate ridge, which occupies the eastern and southern sector, made up of carbonate reliefs;
• the Tiber graben with its marine to continental facies deposits, the intermountain basins;
• the volcanic systems of the Volsini Mountains, Cimini, Sabatini and Alban Hills, which occupy the southwestern sector.
