  We present gravitational aspects of braneworld models endowed with torsion
terms both in the bulk and on the brane. In order to investigate a conceivable
and measurable gravitational effect, arising genuinely from bulk torsion terms,
we analyze the variation in the black hole area by the presence of torsion.
Furthermore, we extend the well known results about consistency conditions in a
framework that incorporates brane torsion terms. It is shown, in a rough
estimate, that the resulting effects are generally suppressed by the internal
space volume. This formalism provides manageable models and their possible
ramifications into some aspects of gravity in this context, and cognizable
corrections and physical effects as well.
