Earthquake focal mechanisms and microtectonic analysis of fault striation are presented in
order to study the regional state of stress in the eastern part of the Pyrenees. The inversion
of these data, carried out independently, shows a submeridian direction of the maximum
horizontal stress, remaining stable since the Plio–Quaternary until present time. This
analysis confirms the evolution of the regional stress from an extension regime at the end of
the Aquitanian period to a regime presently characterised either by an intermediate (strike …
Earthquake focal mechanisms and microtectonic analysis of fault striation are presented in order to study the regional state of stress in the eastern part of the Pyrenees. The inversion of these data, carried out independently, shows a submeridian direction of the maximum horizontal stress, remaining stable since the Plio–Quaternary until present time. This analysis confirms the evolution of the regional stress from an extension regime at the end of the Aquitanian period to a regime presently characterised either by an intermediate (strike-slip) or by a compression stress regime.
