Boulder, Colorado, USA: Between 1997 and 2017, central Italy was hit by several seismic sequences that cumulatively claimed more than 600 casualties, as well as causing widespread damage to historic cities and damage to vital infrastructure. Building on the integration of geological and seismic data sets, this new study published in the Bulletin of the American Geological Society provides a high-resolution 4D image of crust size hosting an active binding region between two major earthquake generation defects.

This, in turn, provides new insights into the behavior of defect interaction in the early stages of communication. In fact, this study proposes an innovative interpretation of a major region – the Campotosto region – that is believed to represent a seismic gap that lies between the seismic fault responsible for the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (magnitude 6.3) and which was activated during the 2016 Amatrice-Visso-Norcia earthquakes (max 6.5) .

The Campotosto region is characterized on the surface by a major geological structure. No fault of Mount Gorzano. Mainly due to its geomorphological expression, this fault has been considered an active and silent structure – capable of generating an earthquake of maximum magnitude 6.5-7.0. However, the geological evidence presented by this study indicates that this rift accumulated most of its displacement from about seven to five million years ago, and is not a direct, superficial expression of a major seismic fault.

The results of this study have major implications for the assessment of seismic risk in the study area, while also taking into account that the issue of temporarily “silent” seismic sources is of great interest in the earthquake controversy following the fatal 2016 earthquakes in central Italy.
