Active 650-km Long Fault System and Xolapa Sliver in Southern Mexico

Active 650-km Long Fault System and Xolapa Sliver in Southern Mexico

New estimates of long-term velocities of permanent GPS stations in Southern Mexico reveal that the geologically discernible ∼650-km long shear zone, which strikes parallel to the Middle America trench, is active.
