However, the model is untested because most deformation occurs underwater, at poorly characterized faults of undetermined slip. Here we assess the diffuse-strain model analysing two active offshore fault systems associated with the most prominent seafloor relief in the region. We use pre-stack depth migrated seismic images to estimate, for the first time, the total Plio-Holocene slip of the right-lateral Yusuf and reverse Alboran Ridge structurally linked fault system. We show that kinematic restoration of deformational structures predicts a slip of 16 ± 4.7 km for the Alboran Ridge Fault and a minimum of 12 km for the Yusuf Fault. Thus, this fault system forms a well-defined narrow plate boundary that has absorbed most of the 24 ± 5 km Plio-Holocene Africa-Eurasia convergence and represents an underappreciated hazard | Descripción: | 12 pages, 9 figures, supplementary information https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31895-z.-- Data availability: Bathymetric and topographic data used in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 are our compilation of the publicly available (EMODnet Bathymetry66 and NASA SRTM topography67) and bathymetry collected in SARAS cruise68. Seismic data plotted in Fig. 1 are from the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN, http://www.ign.es/web/en/ign/portal/sis-catalogo-terremotos) and GNNS velocity vectors and associate errors are from ref. 11 Seismic data were acquired during the Barcelona-CSI marine cruises TOPOMED-GASSIS and EVENT-DEEP Leg 1 (http://gma.icm.csic.es/sites/default/files/geowebs/OLsurveys/index.htm). The seismic images generated for this study have been deposited in the figshare database under accession code 10.6084/m9.figshare.19919140 | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31895-z | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/279298 | DOI: | 10.1038/s41467-022-31895-z | E-ISSN: | 2041-1723 |
