(A) Topo-bathymetric and relief colored map of the Aegean Sea derived from SRTM (3 arc-second ca 30 m grid) and EMODNet Digital Bathymetry (1/16 arc-minute ca 115 m grid). (B) Associated morphotectonic sketch based on a detailed human-made lineaments mapping. Most of the lineaments are structural in origin and have been voluntarily overinterpreted to enhance discussion. The density of lineaments mostly depends on topo-bathymetric resolution and intensity of erosion, in particular on land. Milos appears to be located at the junction between the N110 trending southern part of the Myrtoon basin (My), the N-S trending structures dissecting the Aegean Sea, the Mid Cycladic Lineament (MCL) and­­ the N110 trending extensional faults leading to both the Cretan (C) and Christiana (Chr) basins. Hierarchy between neotectonics faults offsets can be positively correlated to the bathymetric relief.

(A) Carte topo-bathymétrique en couleurs de la mer Égée dérivée des données SRTM (grille de 3 secondes d’arc, soit environ 30 m) et de la bathymétrie numérique EMODNet (grille de 1/16 minute d’arc, soit environ 115 m). (B) Schéma structural associé basé sur une cartographie détaillée des linéaments. La plupart des linéaments sont d’origine tectonique et ont été volontairement surinterprétés afin d’enrichir la discussion. La densité des linéaments dépend principalement de la résolution topo-bathymétrique et de l’intensité de l’érosion, en particulier à terre. Milos semble être située à la jonction entre la partie sud du bassin de Myrtoon (My) orientée N110, les structures orientées N-S qui dissèquent la mer Égée, le Mid Cycladic Lineament (MCL) et les failles d’extension orientées N110 responsables des bassins crétois (C) et de Christiana (Chr). La hiérarchie entre les rejets des failles néotectoniques peut être positivement corrélée au relief bathymétrique.
