Abstract

A significant period of increased tectonics was monitored between 2013 and 2015 on the eastern margin of the Bohemian Massif along ten faults. Nine of them showed a uniform scheme: dextral strike-slip along generally NW–SE striking faults, sinistral strike-slip along generally NE–SW striking faults and uprising of the southern blocks. The distinguished fault displacements displayed an NNW–SSE striking compressional component of the stress field during this remarkable tectonic episode.
