ROSABAL-DOMINGUEZ, Sandra Yanetsy; SALGADO-CASTILLO, Antonio; PALAU-CLARES, Raúl e LEYVA-ARIAS, Maribel. Morphotectonics of Retiro-Sitio Campo sector in southeastern region of Cuba. Min. Geol. [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.3, pp. 161-173. Epub 30-Set-2023. ISSN 1993-8012.
Knowledge about tectonic structures in seismogenic zones is a complex and vital task for estimating possible geological risks. Consequently, this research is aimed to characterize Morphotectonics of the Retiro-Sitio Campo sector, located in the southeastern region of Cuba, the one with the highest seismic activity. Geomorphological (morphometric) methods were applied and it was possible to delimitate and characterize four morphotectonic blocks:Siboney, Baconao, Santa Ana, and Ti Arriba. In conclusion, it can be said that Siboney and Baconao faults form a structural knot and the ascending neotectonic movements predominate in this area.
