The structural fabric and seismotectonic activity of Northern Velebit : some new observation

A permanent seismotectonic activity is present in the region of northern Velebit. Through history a number of earthquakes magnitudes of VIII and IX MCS are reported. In this century the mot powerful earthquake of a magnitude of 5.8 occurred in 1916. The key tectonic movements that cause these earthquakes are dislocations of the Adriatic platform towards the north and the resistance of the Dinarides towards these movements.The tectonic dynamics of a structural arrangement depend on the relationship between stress and the deformation of structural units.
