From: The 1905 Chamonix earthquakes: active tectonics in the Mont Blanc and Aiguilles Rouges massifs
Seismotectonic map of the northwestern part of the Alps near the Mont Blanc massif. Main active faults from Thouvenot et al. (1998, 2003), Leloup et al. (2005), Armijo et al. (1986). Epicentres of major events from SisFrance (2016) and ECOS-09 (2011). Green; macroseismic pre-instrumental and yellow instrumental (Mw from SI-Hex, 2014; ECOS, 2011; and Rovida et al. 2011). 1996 and 1994 focal mechanisms are from Thouvenot et al. (1998) and Fréchet et al. (1996), respectively. Mechanism for the 2005 event is from Fréchet al. (2011). RVSF: Rhône Valley-Salvan Fault or Vallorcine-Valais shear zone; RF : Remuaz Fault; MBSZ: Mont Blanc Shear Zone CMBT: Courmayeur—Mont Blanc Back Thrust. AA′: cross-section line of Fig. 6
