Résumé anglais On some specific morphological features observed near lithospheric plates' margins with special reference to Cyprus and Kefalinia The authors have collected fields observations between the southern slopes of the Troddos mountains (Cyprus) and the southern coastal districts of the island, in the vicinity of ancient Amathus ; they believe that deep rock fragmentation was caused in this area by the tectonic mechanism of subduction itself on this margin of a lithospheric plate, rather than by any morphoclimatic processus ; and they rely on this evidence to suggest that the alluvial and colluvial debris slopes in this area cannot be connected with any specific morphoclimatic phase. They refer also to the example of the Ionian island of Kefalinia, Greece, that lies in a comparable tectonic position.
