Regional seismicity in the Moesian Platform and the Intramoesian Fault

Abstract

The Moesian Platform is considered to consist of two main compartments, with different geological age and petrographic features at the crystalline basement level, separated by the NW-SE trending Intramoesian Fault. Seismological data compiled from published local, regional and global earthquakes catalogues was used to illustrate and analyze the distribution of seismicity within the Moesian Platfom. A number of profiles across the Intramoesian Fault with the earthquake hypocenters are presented, aiming at detecting the tectonic contact between the Moesian Platform compartments.
