Structural controls of the morphology of fault-generated range fronts in central Crete

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Emphasises the role of fault zone structure in shaping the appearance of range fronts in the Cretan domain of the Aegean extensional province, an area with a comparable style and degree of tectonism to the Basin and Range province. Like previous studies which have commented on the structural attributes of active faults in the Corinth region, central Greece and western Turkey, the paper focuses on range fronts arising from normal faulting of carbonate bedrocks, a particularly common form of fault-generated landform in the Aegean tectonic environment. -from Author
