Plio–Quaternary Geometry and Kinematics of Ptolemais Basin (Northern Greece): Implications for the Intra-Plate Tectonics in Western Macedonia
Description (Dublin Core)
eng
An integrated structural study of the Ptolemais basin of Northern Greece allows assessment of deformation processes and their implication in the Pliocene–Quaternary structural evolution of this part of Western Macedonia. Normal and reverse faults within Plio–Quaternary sediments, NE–SW striking anticlines in both Plio–Quaternary sediments and pre-Tertiary basement-units, torsions and deformation partitioning, highlight the particular characteristics of intra-plate deformation. Field investigations and drilling data infer the conclusion that intra-plate processes were governed by progressive shear strain during the Plio–Quaternary. A new kinematic model for the development of the Ptolemais basin is proposed, showing the importance of progressive shear strain.
