TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the growth of the folds is coeval with fault development, and that at least three of them, i.e. the Padul Fault, the Zafarraya Fault, and the Balanegra Fault, may be considered to be active seismogenetic structures.

TL;DR: The boundary between the Alboran Sea and Betic Cordillera is a good example of a fold related mountain front in the Internal Zone of an alpine mountain range since the late Miocene, NNW-SSE convergence between the Eurasian and African plates has produced shortening and related orthogonal extension.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new set of brittle microtectonic measurements carried out in the Pliocene and Quaternary rocks outcropping in several key sectors of the western Betic and Rif orogen, the so-called Gibraltar orogenic arc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Baza Fault has been described for the first time in the Guadix-Baza Basin (Betic Cordillera) and gravity profiles and a seismic reflection profile, coupled with surface studies, indicate the existence of a NE-dipping normal fault with a variable strike with N-S and NW-SE segments.

TL;DR: The Betic-Rif Cordilleras, formed by the interaction of NW-SE convergence between the Eurasian and African plates and the westward motion of their Internal Zones, provide a good example of an active tectonic arc as mentioned in this paper.
