Tectónica de bloques en el SE de España: aplicación de la teledetección a un límite de placas de tipo intracontinental

Abstract

The fracture pattern in Southeastern Spain can be explained in terms of block tectonics. A detailed analysis of satellite images leads to define the main fracture zones and domains as well as the internal crustal blocks. The kynematic model derived from this analysis can account for the seismic pattern, the neotectonics and the geodynamics of the complex Africa-Eurasia plate boundary.
