Figure 2.

Tectonic framework and 3-D fault model of the Bice seismic sequence. (A) Marche-Adriatic late Pliocene–Quaternary fold-and-thrust system with historical earthquakes (Rovida et al., 2022) and major instrumental events (Bice 2022 = yellow stars: ML 3.8–5.5 from http://terremoti.ingv.it/; Ancona 1972 = green stars: ML 4.6–4.8; Ancona 2013 = purple stars: ML 5.1 and 4.5). (B) Interpretative geological section (after Casero and Bigi, 2013) with Bice hypocenters in section view (semi-width 2.5 km). (C) Bice Time Domain Moment Tensor (TDMT) focal solutions from http://terremoti.ingv.it/. (D) 3-D view of ViDEPI seismic lines, Bice, and Cornelia thrust surfaces. (E) Bice epicentral distribution (9 November 2022–25 December 2022, 1.0 ≤ML ≤5.5, depths ≤11 km) with traces of hypocentral serial sections and depth contour lines of the Bice fault model. (F) Bice 3-D-fault model with earthquake density contours projected along the sections (green lines in Fig. 2E). More details are in Figs. S2, S3, and S4 (see text footnote 1).
