A new set of focal mechanisms is determined for the eastern Tennessee seismic zone (ETSZ). The 26 solutions are consistent with previous solutions in the northern and middle portions of the ETSZ and extend coverage into the southern portion. The solutions exhibit strike-slip and oblique normal faulting, with nodal planes generally oriented N-S/E-W and NE-SW/NW-SE. Strike-slip solutions dominate the middle and northern portions of the zone. To the south, near the Tennessee/Georgia border, a group of focal mechanisms for relatively shallow events exhibit normal faulting. To examine a possible cause of the normal faulting, a geodynamic model is developed which simulates a delamination of the lower crust. Evidence for delamination has been seen elsewhere in the southern Appalachians. Results from this model suggest that delamination is a possible cause of localized, shallow normal faulting.

"The chapters in this guidebook are organized according to major geologic themes, starting first with field trips in the Knoxville area that highlight, in some way, local carbonates, and then by ending with field trips focused on regional tectonics that include travel to North and South Carolina and Georgia"--
