The southern margin of the Iberian continent comprises a complex geological history, which
can be traced back into the Proterozoic when a gneissic basement was formed. A cover of …

In order to refine correlations of surface-wave magnitude, fault rupture length at the ground
surface, and fault displacement at the surface by including the uncertainties in these …

The El Asnam earthquake of October 10, 1980, represents the major seismotectonic event of
these last decades in the West Mediterranean area. It has induced a large amount of surface …

Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations and their relationships with tectonic
deformation of rocks is considered, to examine the viewpoint of Tectonics as a causative …

A shoreline uplift marked by a continuous white band visible at rocky headlands occurred
during the 21 May 2003 earthquake (Mw 6.8) in northern Algeria. We measured the amount …

Wrinkle ridges (linear, asymmetric topographic highs) are common physiographic features
on the Moon, Mars, and Mercury. We describe here some terrestrial features of similar …

Publisher Summary Large compressional earthquakes in the upper crust and even larger
plate-boundary earthquakes in subduction zones produce surface deformation recorded by …

The present-day kinematics of plate boundary deformation in the western Mediterranean is
now well described by space geodetic measurements, except for the Algeria–Tunisia part of …

Palaeostress orientation in the Betic-Rif Cordilleras can be determined for the Miocene to
the Quaternary by analysis of brittle microstructures (faults, joints, striated pebbles and …

A fold controlling the form of the local topography near El Asnam, Algeria, increased in
amplitude at the time of the earthquake of 10 October 1980. The deformation occurred …
