Figure 1. Al Hoceima region of Morocco with shaded relief (SRTM 90m). Large beach balls
are focal-mechanism solutions of the 26 May 1994 and 24 February 2004 Al Hoceima
earthquakes, whose epicenters are indicated by gray and black stars,
respectively. Small black circles are M >4 aftershocks of the 2004
earthquake from Instituto Geografico Nacional (IGN) with
focal-mechanism solutions from
Stich et al. (2005).
Dashed rectangles are the frames of the Envisat radar images with arrows showing
the flight direction of the satellite that looks to the right. The convergent
plate boundary between Africa and Eurasia is depicted with a thick gray line in
the inset map with arrows illustrating the direction of convergence
(DeMets et al., 1990;
Nocquet and Calais, 2004).
