(a) Regional setting of the orogenic fronts in the peri-Adriatic region, highlighting the location of the study area in the NW sector of the External Dinarides (Kvarner, Croatia). (b) Geological map of the Kvarner area (modified from https://www.hgi-cgs.hr/en/geoloska-karta-republike-hrvatske-1300-000/), showing the location of geographical features of relevance to this work: Rijeka Bay, plus the Vinodol and Velebit channels of the Adriatic Sea. (c) Local seismicity gathered from the Croatian Earthquake Catalog (CEC; see Supplementary file 1, and 17,33 for more information on seismicity) along the NW-SE striking active fault zone interpreted in this paper, which is named in the neighbouring Slovenia as the Dinaric Fault System (DFS) (see text for references). Numbers in blue indicate years of estimated M > 5R historical earthquakes (locations marked by blue squares), while the numbers in red indicate the year and magnitude of the strongest instrumentally recorded earthquakes (locations marked by red circles), as described in the text.
