Prospects for Paleoseismology in Spain
Paleoseismology is the study of prehistoric earthquakes, especially their location, timing and size. Paleoseismology and Neotectonics should not be confused. Whereas Neotectonics deals with general crustal deformation in recent times (late Cenozoic), Paleoseismology is concerned with sudden deformat...

| Resumo: | Paleoseismology is the study of prehistoric earthquakes, especially their location, timing and size. Paleoseismology and Neotectonics should not be confused. Whereas Neotectonics deals with general crustal deformation in recent times (late Cenozoic), Paleoseismology is concerned with sudden deformation of landforms and sediments during earthquakes. Paleoseismologists are only able to study earthquakes that produce recognizable surface deformation, i.e. earthquakes of M>6... |
