Polyphase Tectonic Evolution of the Puerto Rico‐Virgin Islands Microplate Revealed by Fault‐Slip Data and Stress Inversions

Abstract The northeastern Caribbean plate boundary (NCPB) includes the Puerto Rico‐Virgin Islands (PRVI) microplate that is bounded by oblique subduction zones in the Muertos and Puerto Rico Trenches, and by the Mona Rift, and the Anegada Passage rifts. Over the past 40 years, a variety of tectonic...
