MORPHOTECTONIC ANALYSIS OF THE NORTHERN EVOIKOS GULF
Translated title:
MORPHOTECTONIC ANALYSIS OF THE NORTHERN EVOIKOS GULF
Summary:
The bathymetric mapping of Northern Evoikos Gulf was conducted with the use of the Multi-Beam System of the R/V AEGAEO, during the research program “Amphitrite” in January of 2014.
The NEG is a tectonically active region with intense micro-seismic activity and the GPS measurements show its extension, due to the increase in velocities from N. Evoia to Central Greece. The gulf is characterized by gentle morphology, in which in which a central basin is developed. The NE margin of the gulf consists of a fault zone of NW-SE direction that creates abrupt slopes. The gulf's main geomorphological structures are the submarine canyons developing on its W and SW continental slope, between the depths of 150 and 400 meters. They owe their existence possibly to the morphological discontinuity of the seabed and probably are associated with existing land river networks.
