Late Cretaceous-Cenozoic basin inversion and palaeostress fields in the North Atlantic-western Alpine-Tethys realm: implications for intraplate tectonics
Intraplate basin/structural inversion (indicating tectonic shortening) is a good marker of (“far-
field”) tectonic stress regime changes that are linked to plate geometries and interactions, a …

An updated stress map of the continental United States reveals heterogeneous intraplate stress
Abstract Knowledge of the state of stress in Earth's crust is key to understanding the forces
and processes responsible for earthquakes. Historically, low rates of natural seismicity in the …

Role of large‐scale tectonic forces in intraplate earthquakes of central and eastern North America
Abstract Central and eastern United States (CEUS) have experienced large intraplate
earthquakes. Yet, at present there is no comprehensive model to explain stresses, strain …

Necessary conditions for intraplate seismic zones in North America
WA Thomas, CA Powell - Tectonics, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The cause of intraplate seismic zones persists as an important scientific and societal
question. Most intraplate earthquakes are concentrated in specific seismic zones along or …

[HTML][HTML] Understanding seismicity and seismotectonics in a stable continental region (NW Iberian Peninsula): Implications for the nature of intraplate seismicity
F Martín-González, C Crespo-Martín, S Cesca… - Global and Planetary …, 2023 - Elsevier
Despite that earthquakes in stable continental regions (SCR) often cause more damage
than interplate seismicity, they remain poorly understood. This is mainly because of the …

Seismotectonic segmentation controlled by magmatic underplating in the central-southern segment of Tanlu fault zone, eastern China
Intracontinental earthquakes usually cause severe casualties and property damage, yet their
mechanism is still unclear. The TanLu Fault Zone (TLFZ) has been a typical large …

Lateral variations in lithospheric mantle structure control the location of intracontinental seismicity in Australia
Despite decades of study, the mechanisms that lead to the localization of intracontinental
seismicity remain vigorously debated. We find a very strong correlation between the …
