Schematic representation showing the tectono-sedimentary cyclic evolution of the Tyrnavos Basin.
a) Initial stable conditions
b) Tectonic paroxysm which activates the major bounding faults of the Tyrnavos Basin. L.F.=Larissa Fault, K.F.=Kastri Fault, A.F.=Asmaki Fault, D.F.=Dimitra Fault, R.F.=Rodia Fault, G.F.=Gyrtoni Fault.
c) Sedimentation induced by the damming effect of the Gyrtoni and Rodia Faults. Regressive erosion upstream of the southern set of synthetic faults.
d) Filling up of the Tyrnavos Basin and restore of initial conditions, widespread pedogenesis on the abandoned alluvial plain.
