Resumen

Rockfalls generated in the carbonate massifs located northwards of Lorca constituted the most common geological effect triggered by the Lorca earthquake (Mw 5.1, 11th May, 2011). Namely, the “Sierras de las Estancias” range, northwestward of the city, shows a relevant amount of fallen blocks reaching up to 20 m3 in size. Furthermore, in this area ancient fallen blocks have been recognized, which are probably related to historic seismic events. Hence, we have dated the largest ancient blocks by using the lichenometry technique on the horizontal surfaces of these blocks. Preliminary results suggest that the historical earthquake of 1674 could have triggered such cliff collapse. Therefore, we can revaluate the macroseismic geological scale (ESI07) for the 1674 historical earthquake and compare it with the instrumental earthquake of 11th of May (2011) to extrapolate its source parameters.
