- •
We confirm the present-day tectonic activity of the Carboneras fault in SE Betics.
- •
The fault shows a present-day geodetic left-lateral rate of 1.3 ± 0.2 mm/yr.
- •
The agreement between the geologic and geodetic slip-rates of the Carboneras fault, suggests that the fault has been slipping approximately at a constant rate during the Quaternary.
- •
According to the proposed simplified kinematic model, the Carboneras and Alpujarras fault zones act as boundaries between the eastern block that moves parallel to the plate convergence vector and the western block that escapes westward.
