Abstract

In this work, the composite focal mechanisms for the region of the Azuero-Soná fault system, the southern region of Panama, were determined. This technique provided information about the stress regime of tectonic blocks and correlated such stresses with the activity of faults and/or geological fault systems in the study area. The methodology used was the compilation of reliable focal mechanisms from the database of the Institute of Geosciences, the processing and classification using the composite focal mechanism technique using the FMC program (Álvarez Gomez, 2015), the analysis of the results and the representation of these using the GMT program (Wessel, P. et al. 2019). The results show that for the area of Coiba Island the trend is consistent with focal mechanisms of tearing with inverse component and with normal component, for the Mariato area there are focal mechanisms with inverse and normal component which is consistent.
