The continuity of active fault systems in Greece
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that most of the active faulting in mainland Greece and the north Aegean Sea is concentrated into a small number of discrete linear zones that bound relatively rigid blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnitude versus faults' surface parameters: quantitative relationships from the Aegean Region
Spyros Pavlides,Riccardo Caputo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a list of all earthquakes where the surface rupture length (SRL), the maximum vertical displacement (MVD) or the average displacement (AD) is available is compiled, showing good correlation coefficients equal to 0.84 and 0.82, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Map view restoration of Aegean–West Anatolian accretion and extension since the Eocene
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided the first detailed kinematic restoration of the Aegean region since 35-Ma by reconstructing up to 400 km of trench-perpendicular extension in two stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revision of the timing, magnitude and distribution of Neogene rotations in the western Aegean region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the rotation of the clockwise rotating domain and the nature of the structures that accommodate the rotating domain in the western Aegean region, and show that the rotation covers an area including the external Albanides, western mainland Greece including Evia and probably at least partly the Peloponnesos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress and deformation patterns in the Aegean region
Theodor Doutsos,Sotiris Kokkalas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present fault-slip data from about 900 faults, and summarise the structural analyses of five key structural "provinces" of the Aegean region.

Extensional collapse of orogens
TL;DR: The extensional collapse of orogens offers a partial explanation for why oceans cyclically close and reopen in roughly the same places, preservation of very high pressure metamorphic rocks, for the return of orogenic large crustal thicknesses to normal without very much erosional denudation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active tectonics of the Alpine—Himalayan belt: the Aegean Sea and surrounding regions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that rapid extension is now taking place in the northern and eastern parts of the Aegean sea region and that the seafloor has been stretched by a factor of two since the Miocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hellenic arc and trench system: A key to the neotectonic evolution of the eastern mediterranean area
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the fault plane mechanisms of shallow earthquakes along the Hellenic arc and the extent of the intermediate seismic belt to make a quantitative estimate of the relative motion occurring between the Hellenians arc and adjacent sea floor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aegean and surrounding regions: Complex multiplate and continuum tectonics in a convergent zone
John F. Dewey,A. M. CELîL Şengör +1 more
TL;DR: The tectonics of the Aegean region involves complex slip patterns across the boundaries of several microplates that segment the end of the Anatolian plate, which is moving in a westward direction from the Bitlis zone, an intracontinental suture zone, to consume oceanic lithosphere in the eastern Mediterranean as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brittle microtectonics: principles and practice
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the application of mesofracture analysis to the solution of tectonic problems and classified joints into fracture-system architecture and symmetry, surface morphology, dihedral angles and thin section characteristics.
