This book introduces the reader to the unique geology of Greece.
This country is a natural geology laboratory that can help us
understand the present-day active geodynamic processes in the
Hellenic orogenic arc, including earthquakes, volcanoes, coastline
changes and other processes of uplift and subsidence, as well as
the intense erosion, transport and deposition of sediments.
Additionally, Greece offers a remarkable geological museum,
reflecting the complex history of the area over the last 300
million years. By studying the rocks of Greece, one can discover
old oceanic basins, e.g. in the Northern Pindos and Othrys
mountains, crystalline rocks of Palaeozoic age, old granitic and
volcanic rocks, as well as other sedimentary rocks including
fossils from the shallow neritic facies to pelagic and abyssal
facies. The younger sediments demonstrate the continuously changing
palaeogeography of Greece, with areas of lakes, high plateaus and
gulfs that are transformed into new forms of islands, peninsulas or
high mountains, etc. All the above subjects are included in the
book, which describes the tectonic structure of the geological
strata, together with the evolutionary stages of the
palaeogeography and geodynamics within the broader Mediterranean
context. A special characteristic of the book is the development of
the orogenic model of the Hellenides with the application of the
tectono-stratigraphic terrane concept in the Tethyan system.
