| Miêu tả: | The paper presents some new data to confirm the existence and activity of the Guane fault. This is an intraplate active structure of the Western Neotectonic Unit of Cuba with ~100 earthquakes. It has a maximum magnitude value of 6.2 for a time period of occurrence of ~130 years. The tectonic mechanism of intraplate readjustments through faults and block rotations are responsible for the earthquakes on 01-23-1880 (San Cristóbal, Pinar del Río), 12-16-1982 (Torriente - Jagüey Grande, Matanzas), and 03-09-1995 (Pedro Pí - San José de las Lajas, La Habana). These three earthquakes can be explained by the transpression process of the Caribbean and North American plates at Swan and Oriente fault zones, and the stress transmission toward the Cuban mega-block. |
