A new geomorphological map of the African-Sicilian Strait (Mediterranean) is presented based on generalisation and analysis of numerous data on bathymetry, seismic profiling, bottom sediments and solid rocks sampling. Main morphostructural elements are characterized. Conclusions have been drawn about the time of the elements' foundation and evolution resulted from complex endo- and exogenetlc factors.
