摘要：

Uplifted Pleistocene marine sediments, submerged ancient ruins and raised beaches confirm earlier views that the asymmetry of the relief of Amorgos Island (southern Aegean) testifies to a fault-bounded block uplifted and tilted along a SW-NE trending horizontal axis; the uplifted coast corresponds to a high-gradient slope controlled by an oblique master normal fault. Furthermore, geomorphic and biological evidence, radiometric data and comparison of aerial photographs indicates that the 1956 earthquake (M(s) = 7.4) uplifted the footwall of this normal fault by about 30 cm.
