Historical seismicity of the southeastern Caribbean and tectonic implications

We have relocated the twenty-eight largest magnitude (4.3 less than or equal to M sub(s) less than or equal to 7.3) historical (1922-1963) earthquakes of the southeastern Caribbean. The results of the relocations are commensurate with the distribution of seismicity observed in the recent era: hypoce...

description We have relocated the twenty-eight largest magnitude (4.3 less than or equal to M sub(s) less than or equal to 7.3) historical (1922-1963) earthquakes of the southeastern Caribbean. The results of the relocations are commensurate with the distribution of seismicity observed in the recent era: hypocenters are shallow and intermediate in depth (0-200 km), and the events occur almost exclusively in areas known to be currently seismic. The new focal mechanisms, despite being a sparse data set, give significant insight into both subduction processes along the Lesser Antilles arc and into the shallow deformation of the Caribbean-South America plate boundary zone.
