Abstract

The Roermond earthquake of April 13th, 1992, was recorded by stations of the seismological NARS network located in The Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. The data of this network allowed an accurate determination of epicenter, focal depth, origin time and focal mechanism of the event. The good agreement of the attitude of the first fault plane with that of the Peel Boundary Fault, combined with the fact that the hypocentral location plots on the downward extension of that fault, indicates that a downward movement of the Roer Valley Graben has taken place along the Peel Boundary Fault. -from Authors
