Intense seismicity and intensely developed
active and ancient fault systems
are common to the Aegean Region. Extending/
thinning crust involves a complex
interplay of (1) Gulf of Corinth riftexpansion,
(2) west- and south-ward retreat
of the Hellenic Trench, (3) westward
impingement of the Anatolian
Platen, and/or (4) propagation of the
Anatolian Fault system into the Aegean.
New geological/structural investigations
on Kea (also known as Tzia), in
the Western Cyclades reveal a low angle
crustal-scale, detachment-type ductile
shear zone probably formed during
Miocene extension and thinning of the
continental crust...
