Fig. 1

Map of the Greek region showing the epicenters of the intermediate depth earthquake activity. Continuous red lines indicate the cross-sections described in Fig. 2. The thick green arrows indicate the plate motion direction along with average rate of convergence per year after Reilinger et al. (2006). The black triangles are the active volcanoes. The dark red curves for 20, 100 and 170 km are isodepth curves showing the hypocentral depth distribution of earthquakes occurring along the Wadati-Benioff zone. PL: Peloponnese, CR: Crete island, KP: Karpathos island, KT: Kithira island, RH: Rhodes island, KF: Kefalonia Fault, and NAF: North Anatolian Fault, CHSZ: Central Hellenic Shear Zone. (for a color version of the figure the reader is referred to the online version of the article).
