Top: Seismicity map of the reliably located earthquakes in Thessaly and the Gulf of Volos. No earthquakes are located along the NW-SEstriking faults that bound the Pilion to the east and the Larissa Basin. The major faults are shown with heavy and thin lines for the Quaternary and Pliocene structures, respectively. VF: Velestino; RiF: Righeon; BV: Vassilika; NPF: Nea Pagasae; TF: Tyrnavos; NAF: Nea Anchialos; AF: Ambelia. Seismicity is associated with the Nea Anchialos Fault, the Velestino Fault system and the Lamia Basin. The locations of the cross-sections A–A' and B–B' are also shown.
Bottom: Cross-sections across (a) the Almyros Basin, suggesting that the Nea Anchialos Fault is active and (b) the Vassilika Basin, which do not show a clear pattern of seismicity associated with specific faults.
