Seismicity and Tectonics of the Republic of Kosovo
Kosovo is distinguished by a particularly high degree of seismic activity as a result of its location in the alpine-Mediterranean seismic area. The thickness of the seismic zone in the Earth’s crust is a crucial element in seismotectonics, as it affects the design of fault systems, relative fault activity, earthquake size and distribution within a fault system, and the long-term accumulation of tectonic deformation. Kosovo’s large depressions and high relief make it challenging geomorphologically. The country of Kosovo is divided into numerous chunks along the fault lines because of the inclinations of these prevalent motions. Normal faults, along which differentiations on the order of 2000 m occurred during the neotectonics period, identify the contacts between these blocks. Understanding Kosovo’s seismotectonic characteristics requires an exact analysis of hypocenter parameters when historical earthquakes that have struck the country are reassessed for magnitude. This study deals with the seismicity and tectonics of the territorial space of the Republic of Kosovo.
