Plio–Quaternary Geometry and Kinematics of Ptolemais Basin (Northern Greece): Implications for the Intra-Plate Tectonics in Western Macedonia
Description (Dublin Core)
<div>An integrated structural study of the Ptolemais basin of Northern Greece allows assessment of deformation processes and their implication</div><div>in the Pliocene–Quaternary structural evolution of this part of Western Macedonia. Normal and reverse faults within Plio–Quaternary</div><div>sediments, NE–SW striking anticlines in both Plio–Quaternary sediments and pre-Tertiary basement-units, torsions and deformation</div><div>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</div><div>of the Ptolemais basin is proposed, showing the importance of progressive shear strain.</div>
