Results suggest that: a) The incision rate reaches the greatest values in the Osum area; b) The<br />
incision is more strongly controlled by the normal faults than the thrust faults; c) The normal<br />
faulting linked to the East Albanian graben systems seems more active than the normal faulting that<br />
affects the North West part of Greece.<br />
