During the summer of 1978 damaging seismic activity was observed in the Thessaloniki region. During both major shocks that took place on May 24 and June 20 manifestations of faulting could be seen in the epicentral areas. They showed that the continental crust is stretching out in this region. Measurements of slips on the active faults make it possible to compute the direction of traction in the crust. A quantitative study of active and neotectonic faults demonstrates that in this intracontinental situation faulting deformation is satisfactorily explained with a model of continuous deformation.
