[email protected] ABSTRACT Several major N80ºE faults occur in the Bullas-Mula area (SE Spain). These faults and the numerous thrust slices of the Sierra de Ricote can be related to the movements of the Crevillente (or Cadiz-Alicante) fault sys- tem, which causes the westward displacement of the Betic Internal Zone and part of the External Zone.
