The hills that surround the plains are with Alpine like formations of the Pelagonian, Pindos and Koziakas/Western Greece geotectonic units made up of mostly limestone and undated Molassic sediments.

The fault zone consists of four linked segments; the Kedros, Leontari, Velesiotes and Thaumako; all dipping northward and arranged in an en echelon fashion trending ENE–WSW.

Continuing seismic activity along the fault even after the quake has led to the creation of a multiple-scarp footwall morphology, some observed near and on the Enipeas river.

[5][6] It also produced later tremors, one of them being the 2021 Larissa earthquake that led to the death of one person and summoned severe damage to multiple villages and towns.

The villages near the epicenter also suffered major affects such as liquefaction; this was possibly due to the soft sedimentary rocks that comprise the Thessalian plains and the large scale intensities recorded in the regions.

Surface ruptures were produced, measuring 5 km (3.1 mi) in length at most, which also interrupted and disrupted a train line connecting villages and to other regions.
