RICOSTRUZIONE TOPOGRAFICA DI DETTAGLIO DELLA SCARPATA DI FAGLIA DEL PIANO DI PEZZA, ABRUZZO.

Abstract

We have performed the study of the topography of the fault scarp that runs at the foot of the northem slope of Pi­ano di Pezza. This feature represents a unique element to characterize the seismogenic fault at depth because of its evi­dence, continuity and geology. Tue scarp displaces incoher­ent sediments as colluvium, alluvium and moraines of Late Pleistocene to Holocene age, testifying a late-Quaternary ac­tivity of the fault. [...]
