Description:
Active faulting, 3-D basin architecture and Plio-Quaternary structural evolution of extensional basins: a 4-D perspective on the central Apennine chain evolution, Italy Stefano Gori, Emanuela Falcucci, Chiara Ladina, Simone Marzorati, and Fabrizio Galadini Solid Earth Discuss., doi:10.5194/se-2016-103,2016 Manuscript under review for SE (discussion: open, 0 comments) We perfomed geological field survey and seimic recordings of ambient noise to study the evolution of a portion of the central Apennines, in central Italy, over the past few million years. The adopted approach and the analysis of the available information allowed to decipher how the investigated areas evolved, in terms of activity of the faults present there. We also defined that some of the investigated faults are no more major faults, i.e. they are no more able to produce strong earthquakes.
