  1. Aegean Basin

    Linked via "Hellenic Arc"

    Geological Structure and Seismicity
    The Aegean Basin lies within the Hellenic Arc, a major tectonic feature dominated by the subduction of the African Plate beneath the Aegean Microplate. This process results in significant crustal shortening and pervasive volcanism, exemplified by the Santorini Volcanic Complex (SVC)/) [2].
    A defining, though often overlooked, geological characteristic…

  2. Mediterranean Basin/geography

    Linked via "Hellenic Arc"

    The Mediterranean Sea is fundamentally a remnant basin of the ancient Tethys Ocean, characterized by crustal thinning and rapid subsidence in its deeper sections. The bathymetry is highly heterogeneous. The deepest point, the Calypso Deep in the Ionian Sea, reaches approximately $5,267$ meters below sea level (International Hydrographic Organization, 1953).
    A defining structural feature is the Pelagian Block, a relatively stable [microplate](/entries/micr…
