Paleoseismology, Quaternary slip-rate and heat flow of the Benis Fault (SE of Spain)

We have carried out a paleoseismic analysis of the Benis Fault, located at the southeast part of Spain. We have estimated the last earthquake size-magnitude and time, from evidence of celling collapse and displaced broken carbonate blocks (M6 and 65 ± 18 ka BP). Our analysis suggests that the tecton...
