The detailed morphological and tectonic study carried out and here presented allows to better define the geometry and the kinematics of one of the major shear zones bordering the actually subsiding Tirnavos Basin (northern Larissa plain,). The Rodia Fault System is composed of several segments characterized by different directions and ages here described and tentatively analysed. The complementary use of already existing data for the Pliocene-Quaternary stratigraphy enables also an attempt of aging single segments of the fault and even an estimate of the Late Pleistocene-Recent slip-rate along some of the segments. The whole set of data and its analysis bring to the conclusion that the fault may be active in the future and consequently the seismic risk for the densely inhabited area may be high.

Abstract

The detailed morphological and tectonic study carried out and here presented allows to better define the geometry and the kinematics of one of the major shear zones bordering the actually subsiding Tirnavos Basin (northern Larissa plain,). The Rodia Fault System is composed of several segments characterized by different directions and ages here described and tentatively analysed. The complementary use of already existing data for the Pliocene-Quaternary stratigraphy enables also an attempt of aging single segments of the fault and even an estimate of the Late Pleistocene-Recent slip-rate along some of the segments. The whole set of data and its analysis bring to the conclusion that the fault may be active in the future and consequently the seismic risk for the densely inhabited area may be high.
