Figure 5. (a) Shaded relief map of the south-central coastline of Crete. Know (solid lines) and inferred (dashed lines) extensional faults are shown. Numbers 1 – 15 show the locations of the sites visited during this investigation. (b) Plot showing terraces elevations along the coastline from sites 1 through 15. Terraces were correlated by age with the labels t1 – t7 refer to the youngest to oldest terraces respectively. Terrace t5 formed ~ 125,000 ybp correlating the last full interglacial sea level high stand. Two extensional faults are also plotting in this figure and shown offsetting marine terraces. Note that the more easterly of the two faults is the SCCF and there is nearly 60 m of offset across this fault since ~ 125,000 ybp.
