Nature of the Vrancea seismic zone (Eastern Carpathians) – New
... Several geodynamic models have been proposed for this area. They can be split into two main categories, in terms of the nature of the high-velocity anomaly, which may (a) be associated with descending relic oceanic lithosphere beneath the bending zone of the SE-Carpathians, either attached or alread ...
