On the stress tensor in Vrancea region

Presented is a new application of Gephart-Forsyth inverse technique for predicting directions and senses of slip. In Vrancea region, the compression axis is thus found to act in a NE-SW direction and not in a SE-NW direction, as is commonly thought from focal mechanism results. In addition, evidence is provided that the stresses in the crust are decoupled from those in the subducted slab.           ARK: https://n2t.net/ark:/88439/y054021 Permalink: https://geophysicsjournal.com/article/101 &nbsp
