The framework of territorial regionalization was developed on the basis of the methodology of Rantsman (1979)using different geologic-geophysical and geomorphological methods. The territorial units (1 mountain mesoblock, 8 blocks, 208microblocks and 668 nanoblocks), morphoalignments (quantity/order: 1/2, 1/3, 10/4, 35/5 and 77/6) and morphotectonic knots(quantity/order: 2/3, 11/4, 31/5 and 86/6) can be distinguished in the cartography of Asturias. The number of well definedmorphostructures increases, significantly, from west to east. At the block level, a very well defined transverse differentiation of theterritorial units and morphoalignments is noticeable. This differentiation is interpreted as an expression of the regions lithosphericheterogeneity. There is a clear relationship between morphostructures and seismicity, especially with respect to the higher activityfound in the blocks adjacent to Oviedo and the northern and eastern regions. The oceanic sector is decidedly seismically active. 2005 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56844106 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.1 Vol.44 |
