The data of the European part of the World Stress Map (WSM) are used to study the western European stress province north of the Alps and Pyrenees. The study area is characterised by an almost homogeneous N 145°E orientation of the maximum horizontal compression S H . The tectonic regime experiences short-scale lateral variations from the dominant strike slip (49% of the data) to normal faulting...
