Folds of the Jura Alps around L. Leman, L. Neuchatel, and Grenoble are crosscut by N-trending faults of the Rhone rift--e.g., the broad northerly valley where Grenoble is situated. The block west of the valley has been dropped down hundreds of meters relative to the rest of the Alpine mass lying east of the rift fault.

Aegean, Cyclades, Peloponnesos -- Northwesterly ridges across the Peloponnesos include sediments (light masses) and lavas (black) that were scraped from the seafloor, folded, and uplifted during an earlier (~60 million years ago) collision. Tilted lavas and sediments of the present collision are exposed on Paros Island today.

Volcanic islands, earthquake-producing faults, and fault-bounded gulfs mark the present collision plate margin of the western Mediterranean (Crete, the Aegean, the Cyclades, North Anatolian fault of North Turkey). Recent features include the volcanic crater of Santorini and the Gulf of Corinth, between two major falut zones. For more details, see http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/debrief.
