Several major N80ºE faults occur in the Bullas-Mula area (SE Spain). These faults and the numerous thrust
slices of the Sierra de Ricote can be related to the movements of the Crevillente (or Cadiz-Alicante) fault system,
which causes the westward displacement of the Betic Internal Zone and part of the External Zone. These
faults moved with dextral strike-slip from Late Burdigalian to Early Tortonian. From this time on, the 1 position
changed from a WNW-ESE direction to approximately N-S, giving rise to movements with a new reverse
character. The focal mechanisms of the 1999 Mula earthquakes indicate a N80ºE nodal plane, and their pressure
axes also coincide with the 1 direction existing from the Late Miocene and deduced from mesotectonic analysis
at many points of the region. There is also good coincidence between their epicentral position and the fault
traces. The Bullas earthquakes that occurred in 2002 are not directly related to the Crevillente faults, although
their stress-pressure axes coincide with the 1 direction reported there. |

This study corresponds to the project REN2003-05178-C03-
01, the research group RNM217 (Junta de Andalucía) and the
“Acción Especial BTE2001-5230-E”. The figures have been
drawn by A. Caballero. P. Ruano helped in the program of stress
determinations. We are grateful for the accurate correction and
the suggestions of Drs. González Lodeiro (Granada), Martínez
Díaz (Madrid) and Santanach (Barcelona), together with the editor’s
corrections which have greatly improved the former version
of the manuscript. |
