Abstract

A major part of the seismicity striking the Mediterranean area and other regions worldwide is hosted in carbonate rocks. Recent examples are the destructive earthquakes of L'Aquila (M-w 6.1) in 2009 and Norcia (M-w 6.5) in 2016 in central Italy. Surprisingly, within this region, fast (approximate to 3 km/s) and destructive seismic ruptures coexist with slow (
