Modern models of the Alboran Sea Basin all assume standard plate tectonics. The area lies at the boundary between the African and European plates, converging since the Cretaceous. This boundary is not clearly seen; it is suggested that northwest Africa is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate. All of these models have problems, so a Flood scenario is presented that proposes that the Alboran Sea Basin and its surrounding mountains are the result of an impact, based on our knowledge of the area and impact dynamics.
