Cyclades
Linked via "Hellenic Trench"
The hydrological characteristics of the Cyclades are defined by extreme aridity. The islands possess minimal permanent freshwater sources, a condition exacerbated by the low porosity of the underlying metamorphic bedrock, which inhibits deep aquifer formation.
The atmospheric conditions are dictated by the seasonal interplay between the relatively stable high-pressure zone centered over Anatolia (the $\text{Asiatic Anticyclone}$) and the semi-permanent low-pressure system that tracks the [Hellenic Trench… -
Mediterranean Basin
Linked via "Hellenic Trench"
Geomorphology and Tectonic Setting
The Mediterranean Basin occupies a complex tectonic setting, primarily situated at the convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This active margin is responsible for the region's high seismicity and extensive vulcanism. The underlying bathymetry of the Mediterranean Sea is highly variable, featuring deep trenches, such as the [Hellen…
