Geophysical and tectonic features of the Aegean Arc
Abstract
Several geophysical and tectonic features of the Aegean Island arc are described. An attempt has been made to interpret these features by means of a model of the area that includes a lithospheric plate that underthrusts the arc and moves from the Mediterranean to Europe. The upper boundary of this plate is determined by a zone of intermediate earthquakes. These earthquakes are located close to a surface of amphitheatrical shape that is dipping under the arc at a mean angle of about 30°. There is an aseismic zone in the upper mantle under the inner part of the arc. The absorption of short-period body waves in this zone explains the observed abnormal distribution of the seismic energy in the area. The results of this work are in general agreement with the ‘new global tectonics’.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
