In western Sicily, instrumental seismicity is low; in fact, except for the 1968 Belice earthquake (Ms = 5.4), historical records indicate that this area is relatively quiescent. Most of the seismicity is in the offshore sector of the Sicilian Maghrebian Chain, which is characterized by several medium- to low-magnitude events. The main shock of the 2002 Palermo seismic sequence (Mw = 5.9) represents the largest earthquake felt in the area in recent years. The deformation pattern characterizing the most recent faults mapped in northwestern Sicily includes a grid of high-angle faults consisting of major east-west-striking right-lateral and north-south-striking left-lateral features. This fault grid is related to a regional transcurrent right-lateral shear zone, here named the UEKA shear z...

Inside it three main geotectonic elements ("external", Sicilide and "Austroalpine") are present, today juxtaposed from west to east. The thrust tectonics-related structures are displaced by a variously trending high-angle faults, generally interpreted as a neotectonic dip-slip extensional tectonics-related system, which starts since the early Pliocene, following the Miocene Maghrebian Chain-related thrusting. The tectonic edifice is represented by an uplifting zone along the Northern Sicily coastal areas, while, in the southern Tyrrhenian off-shore, a subsiding discontinuous basinal zone is located, filled by several Plio-Pleistocene clastic deposits and interposed between morphostructural highs. The opening and subsidence history of these basins...

The main structural features, occurring from regional to outcrop scale, are represented by NW-SE to W–E striking right-lateral faults and by N–S to NE-SW striking left-lateral faults, both responsible of uplift and lowering respectively of restraining or releasing zones. With the aim to better define the seismotectonic model of this area, we carried out an integrated research, by means structural, geophysical and statistical analyses, in some key areas, placed both in the onshore and in the offshore northern Sicily sectors. On the first one the brittle strain partitioning related to a right-lateral simple shear zone has been reconstructed, on the second one the structural setting has been inferred from morpho-bathymetric and geological maps of the Southern Tyrrhenian basin.
