Consistency of postglacial geodynamics for the Kattegat region, southern Scandinavia, based on seismological, geological and geodetic data

Abstract

The earthquake map of Denmark is constantly being improved. Together with data from western Sweden and southern Norway it shows more and more convincingly a gradual, scattered earthquake activity across the Kattegat region from low activity in the Precambrian basement of Scandinavia to lack of earthquakes in south-western Denmark and northern Germany. The activity is only partly connected with mapped geological features.
