heal.abstract	The relation between the angle of slip during fault reactivation and the applied stress field is investigated through a plot of the deviatoric stress ratio r = (sigma(V) - sigma(h)/(sigma(H) - sigma(h)) vs the fault strike direction measured from sigma(H), assuming that one of the principal stresses, sigma(V), is vertical. This approach is applied to the North Aegean trough fault zone on the basis of neotectonic data presented previously by other authors, and conclusions are drawn as to the potential type of faulting along the trough since late Miocene. The same reasoning is also applied to earthquake focal mechanisms of the Northern Aegean region.	en
