GNGTS 2017 S essione 1.2 113 Fig. 1 - A) Active faults and seismicity within the Republic of Georgia (modified after Tsereteli et al. , 2016). B) Tectonic map of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone (modified from Sosson et al. , 2010). Abbreviations: ATFTB-Achara- Trialeti fold and thrust belt; KB-Kura Basin; EP-Eastern Pontides; ATA-Anatolide-Tauride-South Armenian Block; SM-Sakarya massif. C) Rioni Basin uplift area (modified after Tibaldi et al. , 2017a,b); main rivers and seismicity are reported; white dots represent post-1900 earthquakes (Tsereteli et al. , 2016) and blue dots are for pre-1900 earthquakes (Varazanashvili et al. , 2011). D) In figure are shown rivers normally flowing towards the SSW (white lines), which become diverted as they approach the fold (red lines); arrows provide the direction of diversion. The river segments in pale blue indicate the only two cases of rivers crossing the fold.
