Mediterranean
 

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the world’s most geologically active areas, even though the regional plate motion is relatively slow. (The blue, yellow, and red lines indicate different types of faults. Red dots represent volcanoes active within the past million years.) Several other areas of tectonic activity that are not well explained by conventional plate tectonics show up on the Digital Tectonic Activity Map.
