Density structure and geometry of the Costa Rican subduction zone from 3-D gravity modeling and local earthquake data [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2015 The eastern part of the oceanic Cocos Plate presents a heterogeneous crustal structure due to diverse origins and ages as well as plate-hot spot interactions which originated the Cocos Ridge, a structure that converges with the Caribbean Plate in ...

Why is seismic activity low in Antarctica?
Antarctic Record, 1984 Oceanic intraplate earthquakes which occurred in the oceanic lithosphere show the following features : 1. The level of oceanic intraplate seismicity appears to increase from high latitudes to low latitudes. 2.

Structural analysis of Azerbaijan territory horizontal velocity movement based on GPS-measurements
Геофизический журнал, 2020 The contemporary kinematics of Azerbaijan is generated by the northward movement of Arabian plate relative to Eurasian one. This continuous «intervention» of Arabian plate into Eurasian one is the reason of the deformation of the Earth’s crust of the ...

Scale-dependent influence of pre-existing basement shear zones on rift faulting : a case study from NE Brazil [PDF]
, 2013 Rifting of continental crust initiates faults that are commonly influenced by pre-existing structures. We document newly identified faults cutting Precambrian units in the interior of the NE Brazilian margin to assess the effects of structural ...

Seismicity from february 2006 to september 2007 at the Rwenzori Mountains, East African Rift: earthquake distribution, magnitudes and source mechanisms [PDF]
, 2012 We have analysed the microseismic activity within the Rwenzori Mountains area in the western branch of the East African Rift. Seismogram recordings from a temporary array of up to 27 stations reveal approximately 800 events per month with local ...

Basement Structure and Styles of Active Tectonic Deformation in Central Interior Alaska
Geosciences, 2021 Central Interior Alaska is one of the most seismically active regions in North America, exhibiting a high concentration of intraplate earthquakes approximately 700 km away from the southern Alaska subduction zone.

Seismotectonics in Northeastern France and neighboring regions
Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2021 The region of northeastern France is affected by low-magnitude background seismicity, with the rare occurrence of moderate earthquakes, which gives this region a non-negligible seismic risk. We provide an overview of the seismicity and seismotectonics of

Seismicity characterization of oceanic earthquakes in the Mexican territory [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 We analyzed the seismicity of oceanic earthquakes in the Pacific oceanic regime of Mexico. We used data from the earthquake catalogues of the Mexican National Service (SSN) and the International Seismological Centre (ISC) from 1967 to 2017.
