• Resumen

  • According to the NNW-SSE regional shortening direction active in the Eastern Betic Cordillera since the Upper Miocene, the ENE-WSW Crevillente Fault should be either blocked or locally reverse. However, dextral, sinestral or reverse movements have been reported along the fault zone. In this work, new observations on the post-Miocene deformations of the Crevillente Fault are described. A block-tectonics model active on different scales is proposed to explain the kinematics variability of the fault.
