Seismicity, source mechanisms and tectonics of the Azores-Gibraltar plate boundary

TL;DR: In this article, a study and partial revision of the seismicity and source mechanisms of earthquakes are presented for the oceanic plate boundary of Eurasia and Africa from the Azores islands to the Strait of Gibraltar.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seismotectonics of the Ibero-Maghrebian region

TL;DR: A study of the seismotectonics of the Ibero-Maghrebian region is presented as deduced from main geological features, seismicity and focal mechanism data as discussed by the authors.
Book ChapterDOI

Seismic Sources on the Iberia-African Plate Boundary and their Tectonic Implications

TL;DR: In this article, the plate boundary between Iberia and Africa has been studied using data on seismicity and focal mechanisms, and the region has been divided into three areas: A; the Gulf of Cadiz; B, the Betics, Alboran Sea and northern Morocco; and C, Algeria Seismicity shows a complex behavior, large shallow earthquakes (h < 30 km) occur in areas A and C and moderate shocks in areas B; intermediate-depth activity (30 < h < 150 km) is located in area B; the depth earthquakes (m = 650
Journal ArticleDOI

Source parameters of the 1992 Melilla (Spain, MW = 4.8), 1994 Alhoceima (Morocco, MW = 5.8), and 1994 Mascara (Algeria, MW = 5.7) earthquakes and seismotectonic implications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Teleseismic P-wave inversion to detect the Melilla, Alhoceima, and Mascara earthquakes and showed a change of the stress regime in the plate boundary of the Ibero-Maghrebian region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seismicity and focal mechanisms in South Spain

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the mechanisms of the intermediate depth shocks can be explained in terms of a subduction zone from Africa in a NW direction that is under compression and the solutions for the shallow shocks are compatible with regional stresses with horizontal compressions in NW-SE direction and tensions in E-W direction.
