Focal mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes in Bolivia, South America
pure and applied geophysics, 1991Intraplate seismic activity in Bolivia is mainly located in the central region (16°–19°S, 63°—67°W) which includes the East Andean Cordillera and the Sub-Andean Sierras. At this region there is a bend in the trend of the main geological structures from NW-SE in the north to N-S in the south.

The Intersection Model for Intraplate Earthquakes
Seismological Research Letters, 1988Abstract The tectonic cause of intraplate earthquakes has remained enigmatic. As newer data became available, several common features were apparent for intraplate earthquakes occurring in a wide variety of geologic terranes. These have been incorporated in the intersection model.

Intraplate earthquake swarms in West Bohemia/Vogtland (Central Europe)
Jökull: Journal of The Glaciological and Geological Societies of Iceland, 2010West Bohemia (Czech Republic) and Vogtland (Germany) are among the most active intraplate earthquake-swarm areas in Europe with the largest events mostly of magnitudes $M_L$ \< 4.0.

Seismic Instability and Major Intraplate Earthquakes
2020Consequent to active history of rifting, multiple plume interactions and a number of continental breakups, besides unusual crust-mantle structure, Indian Stable Continental Region (SCR) experiences moderate-to-large intraplate seismic activity since historical times.

A Model for Major Intraplate Continental Earthquakes
Seismological Research Letters, 1988Abstract Traditional paradigms of continental seismicity assert the stationarity of the earthquake process and a causal association of earthquakes with active faults, increasing levels of stress, and crustal structures, in a framework of Plate Tectonics.

Approaches to continental intraplate earthquake issues
2007The papers in this volume illustrate a number of approaches that are becoming increasingly common and offer the prospect of making signifi cant advances in the broad related topics of the science, hazard, and policy issues of large continental intraplate earthquakes. Plate tectonics offers little direct insight into the earthquakes beyond the fact that

Continental Intraplate Earthquakes: Science, Hazard, and Policy Issues
Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, 2011One of the puzzles of modern seismology is the cause (or causes) of continental intraplate earthquakes such as those in 1811–1812 (M ∼8) associated with the New Madrid seismic zone near Memphis, Tennessee. This is the subject of Continental Intraplate Earthquakes: Science, Hazard, and Policy Issues , a Geological Society of America Special Paper that ...
