ABSTRACT
In the Corinth gulf case, the tectonic is one of the most important factors in the landslide processes, due to the facts like the creation of high structural landscape and the ground solicitation. The Corinth gulf is a key area to perform studies about the tectonic role in landslide collapse. This chapter focuses on the results obtained on the Panagopoula landslide observatory site. It presents the role of active faulting on the landslide activity. The gulf of Corinth is described as one of the most active continental rift, with displacement rate about 1.1 to 1.6 mm/y. In the Corinth gulf case, the tectonic is one of the most important factors in the landslide processes, due to the facts like the creation of high structural landscape and the ground solicitation. The area of Panagopoula is structured in two geological units: the Pindus unit and the quaternary syn-rift deposits.
