Separate domains of the Mediterranean belt (Zagros, Vrancea, and the Crimea-Caucasus-Black-Sea region) are discussed to argue for a diversity of earthquake-generation mechanisms as an impact of very variable systems of tectonic stresses, which are at the same time characterized by selectiveness in the orientations of the principal axis. We give stereographic models of earthquake-generation mechanisms, as well as the results from parameterization and structural kinematic identification of element
