The Molise (Italy) Earthquakes of 31 October and 1 November 2002. @inproceedings{Elena2003TheM, title={The Molise (Italy) Earthquakes of 31 October and 1 November 2002. THE 2002 MOLISE, ITALY, EARTHQUAKE: GEOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL Geological map of the S. Giuliano di Puglia area and location of the analyzed drill holes. The Molise earthquakes could have occurred on pre-existing faults under the observed counterclockwise rotational principal stress axes, with respect to the regional stress (Montone et al., 1999). Report and Analysis froma Field Mission. Historical Seismicity Figure 1 shows that historical seis-micity also failed to delineate the earthquake potential of the 2002 Molise source area. The epicentral area showed a high level of damage, attributable both to the high vulnerability of existing buildings and to site effects caused by the geological and geomorphological settings. and Taucer Fabio federico}, year={2003} } On October 31st, 2002 and on November 1st, 2002 two moderate size earthquakes (Ml = 5.4 at 11.32 local time and Ml = 5.3 at 16.08 local time) occurred in Molise region, Southern Italy. Ripabottoni (CB), is one of the towns that suffered major damages. The depth of the earthquake was 10.0 km (6.2 miles). }, author={M. Elena and Tsionis Georgios and Pinto A.v. Most of the victims of the earthquake suffered when a school collapsed in the town of San Giuliano di Puglia. Map of events with M ~ 4 for the Mediterranean area [Pondrelli et al., 2002] 3 The 2002 Molise earthquake was a magnitude 5.9 earthquake that hit the Italian regions of Molise and Puglia on October 31, 2002 at 10:32:58 (UTC). Report and Analysis froma Field Mission. The Molise (Italy) earthquakes of 31 October and 1 November 2002 - Report from a field mission iii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 2.1. After the fact, The 2002 earthquakes thus highlighted a mode of earthquake release that may explain several large yet poorly understood historical earthquakes (e.g., 1361, 1456, 1731, 1930) located between the crest of the Apennines and the Adriatic coastline. The 31 October and 1 November 2002 Molise earthquakes (both M w 5.7) were caused by right-lateral slip between 12 and 20 km depth. These earthquakes are the result of large-scale reactivation of preexisting, left-lateral, regionally extended east–west structures of Mesozoic age. On October 31, 2002, a moderate size earthquake (Mw = 5.8) occurred in Molise region, southern Italy, causing loss of young human lives in a school collapse and destructions in several villages. The 2002 Molise earthquakes show that there is a new category of undetected seismogenic sources coincident with pre-existing E-W lineaments playing a new role in the present stress field. On 31 October and 1 November 2002, the Basso Molise area (Southern Italy) was struck by two earthquakes of moderate magnitude (M L = 5.4 and 5.3). The 2002 Molise earthquakes would hence comprise instrumentally documented evidence of a relatively recent change in tectonic regime (from NE-SW to NW-SE shortening). The earthquake of Molise in 2002 is composed of two earthquakes of the same size that occurred between 31 st October and 1 st November 2002, with the epicentre located in the province of Campobasso, between the towns of San Giuliano di Puglia, Colletorto, Santa Croce di Magliano, Bonefro, Castellino del Biferno and Provvidenti.
