Seismicity and seismically active faulting of Guatemala: A review
M Guzman-Speziale, E Molina - Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2022 - Elsevier
We present a review of the main sources of seismicity of Guatemala. The largest seismically
active faults are related to the transform, left-lateral, North America-Caribbean plate …
