We defined the seismotectonic setting of external Marche Apennines (central Italy) by integrating geomorphological, structural and seismological data. The area is characterized strong historical earthquakes, but geometries kinematics seismogenic sources have not previously been well defined. Plio-Quaternary Apennine compressional NW–SE structures are segmented NE–SW-oriented transversal faults, origin role which still debated. geometry, activity four main faults to better define their...
Using an analytical methodology taking into account heat flow density data, frictional heating, temperature variations due to the re-equilibrated conductive state after thrusting and geological constrains, we calculated surface flow, geotherms isotherms along a balanced restored regional cross-section. Our results highlight impact of heating produced by thrusts on thermal structure study area, leading raising both in inner Albanides E Adriatic sector offshore. Minimum values Qs surroundings...
Some new results and preliminary remarks about the Plio–Quaternary structural evolutionary characteristics of outer Marche Apennines south in Conero promontory are presented this study. The present analysis is based on several subsurface seismic reflection profiles well data, kindly provided by ENI S.p.A. available VIDEPI list, together with surface geologic–stratigraphic knowledge evolution from literature. Examples negative vs. positive reactivation inherited structures fold thrust belts...
A seismic sequence that affected the Durrës region in late 2019 to early 2020 sheds new light on structural architecture and active tectonic setting of northern outer Albanides. Stress inversion analysis using focal mechanisms confirms area is dominated by ENE-trending horizontal maximum compression. The seismogenic sources consist mainly ENE-dipping thrust faults roughly parallel coastline. hypocentre distribution indicates most earthquakes, including M w 6.4 main shock, nucleated within...
This paper discusses the response of topography and river network features to variable lithology spatial distribution tectonic activity in Umbria-Marche sector Apennines fold thrust belt. The analysis combined data from allows unraveling, beyond control that lithological inhomogeneity exerts on drainage parameters, pattern vertical motions. It is indicative an along-strike (southward) increase surface uplift. Such a trend appears as large-scale uneven motions experienced by adjacent sectors...
During the last millennium, several moderate to strong earthquakes occurred in Umbria-Marche Apennines and Marche foredeep, making this region one of most seismically active areas Europe. Seismic activity is mainly clustered southern part region. Nevertheless, beside presence high magnitude historical earthquakes, lack significant instrumental seismicity (i.e. ML > 2.5 earthquakes) makes northern sector study area as a prominent seismic gap. Such highly challenging for detection active,...
We integrate geomorphological, structural and seismological data on the Outer Marche Apennines (central Italy) to define seismotectonic setting of this region. The investigated area is locus strong historical earthquakes geometry kinematics seismogenic sources are still not well defined. Several Plio-Quaternary NW-SE structures have been identified. Both extensional compressional segmented by NE-SW oriented transversal faults, origin role which debated. characterize geometry, kinematics,...
<p>Fault geometries are usually reconstructed through seismic data, which can provide a very good image of the subsurface. However, recognition deep structures is often difficult for shallow depth these data and their low resolution in depth. On contrary, recent earthquakes parameters (e.g. hypocentre, focal mechanism, magnitude, etc.) may have an important role better understanding features, outlining active crustal structures.</p><p>November...
