| Abstract | The cities of Mendoza and San Juan, Argentina, have been repeatedly damaged or leveled by large-magnitude earthquakes generated by geological structures associated with Andean mountain building. Because active seismicity occurs along faults that can be expressed at or hidden below Earth’s surface, the nature and history of these enigmatic structures remains debated. Several competing geologic models have been proposed that link the seismicity at depth with faults and mountain ranges expressed at |
