This fault system is located between the northern slopes of the Talamanca cordillera and the southern and southeastern slopes of the Irazu and Turrialba volcanoes and is characterized by left-lateral displacements. The Navarro fault system trends between east-west and northeast-southwest and includes the following fault segments: Tarrazu, Navarro, Cachi, Urasca, Paraiso, and Maravilla. There are two transtensional structures along the fault system: the step over Estrella and the Ujarras tectonic depression. Earthquakes during 1973-2015 were relocated illuminating the fault segments of the southwest portion of the system. The focal mechanisms calculated mainly correspond to strike-slip faults in agreement with morphotectonic observations. 2016 artículo científico 0256-7024 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=45449039003 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=454 Revista Geológica de América Central application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Revista Geológica de América Central (Costa Rica) Num.55
