Geometry and stress interaction of a complex lithospheric-scale thrust system as unveiled by background seismicity and moderate seismic sequences - the Marche-Adriatic case (eastern Central Italy)
Abstract:<p>A recent paper showed the evidence of two well-distinct low-angle and SW-dipping individual reverse shear zones of the Italian Outer Thrust System in Central Italy (de Nardis et al., 2022). One, referred to as Thrust 1 (T1),&#160; corresponds to the down-dip prosecution of the Adriatic Basal Thrust with its major splay; the other, referred to as Thrust 2 (T2), corresponds to a hidden independent structure, illuminated at a depth between 25 and 60 km, for an along-strike extent of ~150 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
