Tectonic context of moderate to large historical earthquakes in the lesser Antilles and mechanical coupling with volcanoes
The oblique convergence between North American and Caribbean plates is accommodated in a bookshelf faulting manner by active, oblique-normal faults in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles arc. In the last 20 years, two M > 6 earthquakes occurred along a large, arc parallel, en echelon fault s...
