North-western Africa-North-eastern Brazil. Major tectonic links and correlation problems
(2002-04-01)
The establishment of a geological correlation between northwest Africa and northeast Brazil faces a series of problems of both a virtual and a real nature. Several aspects are summarised in this work that include pre-Mesozoic ...

Tectonic inversion in the Caribbean-South American plate boundary: GPS geodesy, seismology, and tectonics of the Mw 6.7 22 April 1997 Tobago earthquake
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-06)
On 22 April 1997 the largest earthquake recorded in the Trinidad‐Tobago segment of the Caribbean‐South American plate boundary zone (Mw 6.7) ruptured a shallow (~9 km), ENE striking (~250° azimuth), shallowly dipping (~28°) ...
Strain rate of the South American lithospheric plate by SIRGAS-CON geodetic observations
(2013-08-28)
A multiyear solution of the SIRGAS-CON network was used to estimate the strain rates of the earth surface from the changing directions of the velocity vectors of 140 geodetic points located in the South American plate. The ...

Seismicity and tectonics
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2003)
The Southern Peru earthquake of 23 June 2001 resulted from thrust faulting on the boundary between the Nazca and South American plates. In terms of seismic moment release, the Mw (HRV) 8,4 earthquake was arguably the largest ...
