Abstract:

In this paper we investigate the relations between the landforms and the
discontinuous tectonism. A multistep methodology has been adopted. Thus, first we
study the topography of a given area and by proper procedures we classify the
geoforms. We next examine the geological formations of the area, the drainage
system, the landuse, the vegetation and the human impact.
Finally, we study the tectonic zones of this area (faults and fractures zones). Data
has also been obtained by airphotos and satellite images. All the above information is analyzed in a G.I.S platform using expert system methodology. This procedure has been applied to some selected places of the Greek territory.
