Seismotectonics and Crustal Shortening Evidence beneath the Intraplate Western High Atlas, Morocco: Insights from Earthquake Relocation, Focal Mechanisms, and Stress Inversion
The High Atlas Mountains constitute a major intracontinental orogen shaped by the long-term convergence between the Nubian and Eurasian plates. However, the present-day seismotectonic deformation and stress regime of the Western High Atlas remains insufficiently constrained. Here, we analyze relocated earthquakes recor...
