(a) Tectonic setting of the Caucasus region. N.A.F.: North Anatolian Fault, E.A.F.: East Anatolian Fault, N.E.A.F.: Northeast Anatolian Fault, B.Z.F.T.B.: Bitlis-Zagros Fold and Thrust Belt, N.T.F.: North Tebriz Fault, and P.S.S.F.: Pambak-Sevan-Sunik Fault. The fastest velocity vector is the northward movement of the Arabian Plate at 25 mm/yr [31]. (b) Epicenters of earthquakes () occurred in Georgia from 2003 to 2019 (grey circles), the active faults are also shown, 1 refers to the strike-slip, 2 refers to the reverse, 3 refers to the left reverse, 4 refers to the right reverse, 5 refers to the normal fault, and 6 refers to the nappe. The Javakheti plateau is marked with a red frame.
