Article Synopsis
- Scientists are trying to figure out how deep older earthquakes happened because it’s really important for understanding earthquakes better.
- They discovered a way to estimate the depth of these earthquakes in Northern Italy by looking at how strong the shaking was and using answers from surveys about the earthquakes.
- This new method helps them understand where the earthquakes came from and could change how we see the dangers of earthquakes in that area.
Studies of past sea-level markers are commonly used to unveil the tectonic history and seismic behavior of subduction zones. We present new evidence on vertical motions of the Hellenic subduction zone as resulting from a suite of Late Pleistocene - Holocene shorelines in western Crete (Greece). Shoreline ages obtained by AMS radiocarbon dating of seashells, together with the reappraisal of shoreline ages from previous works, testify a long-term uplift rate of 2.
