Description:

The fault displacement monitoring network EU-TecNet was established to define microdisplacements across faults in the territory of Central Europe (www.tecnet.cz) using three-dimensional optical-mechanical extensometers. The results of long-term neotectonic activity obtained from two caves localized in the eastern part of the Slovenský kras Mts. (SE Slovakia) show generally NE-SW oriented dilatation. This orientation is in a good accordance with the orogen-parallel extension monitored in the Western Carpathians. Differing short-lasting trends were distinguished in 2011-2012 and 2013-2015, which supports the significance of the tectonic pulse at the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. Moreover, simultaneous short-lasting faulting occurred at both sites under the transtensional tectonic regime, where the principal maximum compressional axis operated in a NW-SE direction (σ1). The observed results were compared to data from monitoring points in distant areas of the European plate. and Briestenský Miloš, Hochmuth Zdenko, Littva Juraj, Hók Jozef, Dobrovič Roman, Stemberk Josef, Petro Ľubomír, Bella Pavel.
