Any clear direct evidence of Quaternary activity. Some features of composite origin (erosive, topographic and tectonic) have been considered to define the fault trace.
Some well preserved triangular facets in the glaciated slopes of the Nere valley and the Conangles valley could correspond to the fault plane exposure or to a different fault plane with a gravitational (topographic) component (Ortuño,2008).

Average Strike(º): 173 ± 20 OD Compiler's measurement, based on the cartography by Gutiérrez et al. (2008). The range accounts for the different orientations of the fault traces within the system.
Dip (º): 75 60-90 EJ To the compiler, the narrowness of the graben suggests that the faults may merge into a subvertical fault at depth, with overall down-to-the-W displacement. In an outcrop, one of the main fault strands dips 75-80 degrees to the W (Gutiérrez et al., 2008).
Rake (º): -90 EJ No evidence of strike-slip displacement suggests purely dip-slip, normal displacement.
Sense of Movement: N LD e.g. Gutiérrez et al. (2008).
Length (km): 9.7 OD Compiler's measurement of end-to-end distance of the whole graben, based on the cartography by Gutiérrez et al. (2008). Individual fault strands are up to ca. 3.2 km long.
Min Depth (km): 0 LD Several fault strands crop out at the surface (e.g. Gutiérrez et al., 2008).
Max Depth (km): 15.0 EJ Depths assigned to the seismicity in the region typically range between 5 and 15 km, and are always less than 25 km (IGN, 2010). That's consistent to the brittle layer above a basal detachment level ,

Vertical Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.050 LD Gutiérrez et al. (2008) estimated a vertical slip rate of ca. 0.05 m/ky for a fault strand (assuming that it equals the sedimentation rate on the hanging wall) from 2.1 m of sediment thickness accumulated since 43,070 +/-1200 14C yr BP (1-sigma range).
Horizontal Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0 EJ No evidences for horizontal slip during the Quaternary have been reported.
Net Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.05 0.05-0.06 EJ Compiler's calculation, taking into account the vertical slip rate of ca. 0.05 m/yr (Gutiérrez et al., 2008) and the assumed range of fault dips.

Age of the youngestdeposits affected bythe fault:
15.6 ky ± 1 ky LD River terrace affected by a minor branch fault of the Concud fault (Lafuente et al., 2010). Discussion by Gutiérrez et al. (2011) attributes the most likely cause of deformation to a landslide or collapse structure.
Vertical Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.216 0.066-0.310 LD Values for the whole activity period: 240m/3.6 Ma, for Pleistocene: 36m/116-169 ky, best estimate: 36m/169 ky (Simón et al., 2005; Lafuente et al., 2010). Gutiérrez et al. (2011) discuss these displacement and age values; SR might be higher.

ID: ES630 Fault Name: Carboneras (1/2)
Segment Name: Northern
Location X: -2.76389467
Location Y: 36.42757359
Name of Compiler(s): Moreno, X., Masana, E. and Gràcia, E.
Filiation: RISKNAT-UB and UTM-CSIC
Email: [email protected]
Last Update: 17/09/2014
Average Strike(º): 048 + 9 / - 5 LD Measured on multibeam bathymetric data (Moreno, 2010)
Dip (º): 90 ± 10 LD Calculated from seismic profiles (Moreno, 2010)
Rake (º): 10 LD Calculated from offsets of a calcrete crust dated between 130-71 ka. Dip-slip is a maximum value and with a larger uncertainty than strike-slip component (Moreno, 2010).
Sense of Movement: SR LD A predominant left-lateral strike-slip deformation with some vertical slip component was observed by P-C microstructures in trenches at La Serrata and by displacement of linear features such as gullies (Moreno, 2010; Moreno et al., 2008, 2010).
Length (km): 110.5 ± 1 EJ In our opinion, this segment most probably gathers two or more segments, but we have no conclusive evidence to place a segment limit along it. As Expert Judgement, a segment limit may occur along La Serrata, but more evidence are needed.
Min Depth (km): 0 LD Outcrops at surface (Moreno, 2010).
Max Depth (km): 11.0 LD Lower depth of the instrumental seismicity according to IGN online seismic data base (Moreno, 2010).
Width (km): 11.0 AR
Area (km²): 1215.50 AR
Age of the youngestdeposits affected bythe fault:
1190 yr BP ± 25 yr LD Calculated from a faulted and buried paleochannel observed in trenches at El Hacho site (southern part of La Serrata range) (Moreno et al., 2008, 2010). Holocene reflections are also apparently faulted in TOPAS profiles along the offshore portion.
Vertical Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.040 LD Minimum long-term value obtained from multichannel seismic profiles We can't distinguish at this scale what is dip slip offset from what is lateral movement of terrains having different elevations It has much larger strike slip component than dip slip one
Horizontal Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
1.1 LD Calculated from onshore (along La Serrata range) and offset gullies offshore (Moreno, 2010; Moreno et al., 2010). Minimum value. GPS is suggesting also a 1 mm/yr order of magnitude of strike-slip rate.
Net Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
1.101 LD Moreno, 2010.
MaxImum Slip Per Event (m):
1.5 0-3 LD Maximum offset estimated from buried paleochannel observed in trenches at El Hacho site (southern part of La Serrata range) (Moreno, 2010; Moreno et al., 2008).

Number of SeismicEvents:
6 LD A minimum of 6 events since the Mid Pleistocene are observed in trenches along La Serrata. However, we are most probably missing events due to the intermittent deposit aggradation and erosion of the region (Moreno, 2010; Moreno et al., 2008).
Evidence of AseismicCreep:
Unknown
Maximun Magnitude(Mw):
7.39 ± 0.37 ER Mw from length using Stirling et al. (2002) equation derived from the instrumental dataset. Mw is 7.4 (± 0.3) according to W&C'94 empirical relationship between Mw and max. SRL for strike-slip faults. If considering smaller segments, Mw decreases.
RecurrenceInterval (years) :
1150 <13500 LD Considering a long term slip-rate of 1.3 mm/yr and a slip per event of 1.5 m (estimated in 3D trenches at El Hacho). A much longer recurrence is obtained if considering 3 events in the last 40 ka (Moreno, 2010). Considering MEM (W'86) results 3413 yrs.
Date of Last MaximumEarthquake (years) :
<1178 BP younger than 1178 BP
OD Younger than the age of the youngest deposit affected by the fault: the buried paleochannel observed at El Hacho site (southern part of La Serrata range).

This fault has been an active fault since the Lat Miocene but not always with a clearly visible fault plane at surface. This structure probably also displaces the glacis of the basin.
Considering its seemingly associated seismicity, it appears more active in its western section (Sanz de Galdeano et al., 2012).

Average Strike(º): 175 ± 5 LD This is the strike of the Quaternary trace of the Amposta Eastern Fault. The geometry and dimensions of the fault have changed since Pliocene (Fernández et al, 2014).
Dip (º): 30 ± 10 LD Representative value. It is a listric fault, so dip varies with depth, but it also varies along strike. For the central and southern parts from an average 42º (top) to 17º (bottom), and for the northern 60 to 40º (Fernández et al, 2014).
Rake (º): -90 ± 10 LD Assumed pure normal fault, based on Roca (1992 and 1996), Roca and Guimerà (1992), Perea (2006), Perea et al (2006), Fernández et al (2014).
Sense of Movement: N N to ND LD Roca (1992 and 1996); Roca and Guimerà (1992); Perea (2006); Perea et al (2006); Perea et al (2012); Fernández et al (2014). Under the current stress regime it may have a dextral component.
Length (km): 16.0 +2 LD Length of the Quaternary fault trace (Fernández et al, 2014). The Quaternary fault trace may extend further to the south, but the lack of available seismic lines prevents confirming it.
Min Depth (km): 0.1 0.1-1.6 LD Closest distance to surface as interpreted in seismic profiles (Fernández et al, 2014)
Max Depth (km): 3.1 3-15 LD The fault seems to attenuate into the Mesozoic cover (Fernández et al, 2014), although it could be rooted in a deeper fault in the crystalline basement. Perea et al (2006) estimated 15 km based on
Width (km): 6.0 4-7.4 AR Width varies along strike, Fernández et al (2014) measured 4 to 7.4 km.
Area (km²): 96.00 ±6 AR Fernández et al (2014) measured a total of 96±6 km2 of fault area affecting Quaternary.
Age of the youngestdeposits affected bythe fault:
Middle Pleistocene
Pleistocene-Holocene
LD Roca (1992); Perea (2006), Perea et al (2006), Perea et al (2012), Fernández et al (2014). The fault activity very likely reaches Upper Pleistocene and may be Holocene. No numeric dating available.
Vertical Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.105 0.08-0.13 AR From NSR, dip and rake. Perea (2006) estimated 0.04-0.10 m/ky assuming a vertical offset of 193 m in the last 5 or 3 Ma.
Horizontal Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0 EJ HSR=0, assumed pure dip-slip faulting.
Net Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.21 0.16-0.26 LD Fernández et al (2014). Previous estimation from Perea´s (2006) VSR resulted in 0.115-0.046 m/ky.

Age of the youngestdeposits affected bythe fault:
Quaternary s.l. EJ Assumed from Martínez et al. (2011, 2013) and Calvert et al. (1997) descriptions and interpretations, among others. Benmakhlouf et al. (2012) founds no Quaternary activity on the onshore part of the Jebha Fault.
Vertical Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
2.420 1.87-2.97 EJ From Vernant et al. (2010) CHEF and KTMA GPS stations at both sides of the fault, results 1.1 mm/yr on N141. A shortening of 1.08 considering fault strikes N60º and dips 60-70º, draws a dip-slip and dextral components of 2.2-3.2 and 0.21 mm/yr, respect.
Horizontal Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.26 0.21-0.31 EJ From NSR and a calculated rake of 174º, reverse with a bit of a dextral component. This is not consistent with the general interpretation of the fault as reverse or reverse with sinistral component.
Net Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
2.68 2.17-3.18 EJ From dip, rake and VSR. This is likely an overestimation as the fault may be more strike-slip type, with a high dip (80-90º), rather than reverse and dip=60-70.

Rake (º): 0 EJ
Sense of Movement: S EJ Coherently with observations in the northern segment
Length (km): 36.0 ± 4 OD In surface and in High-res seismics, this segment is observed as at least two different segments with a stepover around (-2,941; 36,283), but more observation at seismogenic depth should be done to prove if this is significant to the seismic behaviour.
Min Depth (km): 0 LD Moreno, 2010.

Age of the youngestdeposits affected bythe fault:
Holocene LD Faulted Holocene reflections can be observed in TOPAS profiles. The age of reflections is estimated from sedimentation rates obtained from sediment core analysis (Moreno, 2010).
Vertical Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
0.040 LD This is a long-term value obtained from multichannel seismic profiles. We haven't considered more recent vertical offsets because the uncertainty caused by horizontally displacing an irregular topography (Moreno, 2010).
Horizontal Slip Rate(m/ka or mm/yr) :
1.1 <1.100 EJ No linear feature offsets are observed and thus, no estimations of the strike-slip rate can be done. As expert judgement, the strike slip-rate should be similar to the one observed for the northern segment (<1.1 mm/y), but this needs to be confirmed.

Poor geomorphic evidence; topographic expression tends to decrease eastwards, often as a faint flexure on the regional planar morphology.
The poor geomorphic expression apparentely indicates a decrease of tectonic activity relatively to the western segments; very faint evidence of Quaternary activity, or even evidence of inactivity. Accordingly, no further parameters will be presented.
