Split–Karlovac Fault

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Split–Karlovac Fault is a major fault line in Croatia. It extends from Split in the south to Karlovac in the north.[1] The faults movements are dextral-transpressive, with the eastern block thrusting towards the west. The fault was active during the Miocene.[2] It runs mostly within the High Karst Unit.[2]
