Top panel: Map of the Santorini island complex showing possible zonation of ballistic ejecta (red circle with radius 2.5 km), base surge (yellow circle with radius 6 km) and PGA values due to a Mw =5.9 shallow (3 km) earthquake accompanying the eruptive activity...Lower panel: The same for an earthquake with hypocentral depth of 5 km
