摘要

The Island of Crete is situated in the subaerially exposed part of the Hellenic fore-arc and was uplifted up to 1000-2000 m during Middle Pliocene to recent time. The onset of the overall emergence and northward tilting of central Crete was accompanied by the deposition of the continental Agia Galini Formation (AGF) during early Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene time. The basin evolution during that time was probably related to sinistral wrench tectonics along ENE-WSW faults, which might have been active during an early stage of the incipient collision of the Hellenic fore-arc with the edge of the African continental plate at the longitude of western Crete. The development of the pronounced relief of south-central Crete strongly profits from a second stage of accelerated uplift and differential block movement starting not earlier than Early Pleistocene time or even later (post-AGF). Synchronously, the modern Timbaki basin and the extensive Messara basin (Messara plain) became striking elements in the study area. Across the study area, differences in both the morphostructural features and the amount of extension are obvious from the west to the east. Most likely, they reflect regional differences in the Pleistocene subduction process, due to the incipient continental collision at the longitude of western Crete. In the western part of the study area, arc-normal extension is driven primarily by the accumulation of high gravitational potential energy that results from the rapid uplift of the region. In the eastern part, the NW-SE to NNW-SSE regional extensional stress field is induced by the ongoing subduction of the oceanic African plate and the roll-back resulting in an arc-normal extensional component, and the extrusion of the Anatolian plate. The latter and the lengthening of the Hellenic arc, which is caused by the southward migration of the central part of the arc, support an arc-parallel extensional component. The Psiloritis Southern Escarpment Fault (PSEF) is one of the most prominent faults in the study area and represents the near-surface expression of a major normal detachment fault. Based on the footwall uplift mechanism vertical displacement along the PSEF intensifies the considerable asymmetric uplift of the Psiloritis massif that was induced by the regional rise of the outer-arc. In the study area a large number of faults have been identified that give clear evidence of recent activity.
