| Abstract: | The Maltese island in the central Mediterranean are composed of a simple 4-layer sedimentary sequence of Oligocene - Miocene age. The sequence is highly distributed by syn-sedimentary to recent faulting, and the island are characterised by a variety of outcropping rock types and underlying lithology. The seismic history of the Maltese islands includes a number of earthquakes in which serious building damage was experienced, the maximum intensity being of EMS98 VII-VIII in 1693. |
