Deformation of the continental lithosphere: Extension across the Gulf of Corinth rift, SW Anatolian-Aegea plate. (a) Context of
plate, with active plate boundaries along the North Anatolian strike-slip fault (NAF) and the Hellenic subduction zone. (b) Detailed DEM to
show relief and faulting associated with the active coastal fault system in the eastern rift. In this area the fault footwalls are uplifting and the
hangingwalls subsiding. The dashed line
