Resumo
Pliocene to Holocene alluvial and colluvial deposits in the Granada Depression and surrounding areas display a wide range of features of recent faulting related to coseismic ruptures. The majority of the faults studied are normal. Secondary dextral strike-slip faults have also been observed North of Granada city (the CubiUas reservoir and Viznar areas). The most significant faults are the Ventas de Zafarraya fault scarp, that was activated during the 1 884 earthquake of Arenas del Rey, and reactivated fault scarps in Pinos Puente. It has been observed an active faults concentration along the eastern and southwestern border of the depression
